Mark Larson posted:We all have our own experience and our own preference, but when I was running an AOSP rom on my phone I really felt like it was a more basic phone. When I had Sense, I loved having the built-in apps and widgets, it really made for a much more functional phone. And most people I know with AOSP roms/phones used some ad-ridden poo poo from the market to replace the AOSP Launcher anyway. gently caress paying for widgets and stuff from the market to replicate stuff that Sense has built-in. Another thing to consider is that you cannot replace the battery in the HTC EVO 4G LTE. I like having the option of an external charger and battery. Between this and the faster updates, I picked the Nexus. I have an old EVO 4G now, and not being able to get ICS for the past few months has been killing me. I guess I'm an OS whore.

jisforjosh posted:Maybe it's because I'm on a new account? I honestly don't know how it works. This is the reason. Sprint is waiving activation for new customers getting a new line of service only. I'm not sure when it sold out, but when I checked the pre-order about an hour ago no more phones were available. I guess that means at least some people (including myself) aren't waiting for the EVO 4G LTE.

tijag posted:This isn't a sprint question per se, but I think maybe someone will be able to help with this. Not exactly a technical solution, but could you just sign up your mom and then buy yourself some gift cards with her account? I believe you can use Google Wallet at certain online retailers, so you can probably find something that you could use.

tijag posted:Just bought the Galaxy Nexus for Sprint from Wirefly for $149.99 [upgrade account/contract extension]. Hopefully you'll get the phone soon enough to take advantage of the Google Wallet promotion. Do they have an eta on delivery? Also, I've heard that the contract terms are different for phones purchased from Wirefly than for phones purchased directly from Sprint. Does anyone happen to know the differences?

DanAdamKOF posted:I just wanted to say I lurked this thread and had preordered a Galaxy Nexus just fine last weekend, went from SERO 500 to Sero Premium, and had my phone on the 20th. I've bookmarked this thread, you guys have some good info here. I'm not sure if it is normal, but I noticed the same thing on my Gnex. You can't see it on higher brightness, and I also think it is more noticeable because the resolution is much higher than my OG evo.

Jensen posted:1. I miss T9 dialing that the HTC phones have. You can fix this pretty easily by just downloading a new dialer off the market. Dialer One is a good one I've used before. Jensen posted:6. Battery life is worse than the EVO 3D. I don't think this is the OS though, I've been doing a fair amount of testing in this area. I think it's the SoC and/or radios in the phone. My battery life seems to be slightly better than my OG Evo, but I'm not sure if part of the reason for that is that the battery was almost 2 years old in my old phone. That being said, I'm not having any problems getting my phone to last through an entire workday (14+ hours) with Juice Defender installed. Jensen posted:Off to burger king to try my google wallet. I had a hard time getting it to work the first time I tried, and the teller was just looking at me like I was crazy. The second time, I slowly and physically tapped the phone on the paypass thing, and it worked.

GentlemanofLeisure posted:Can someone post a few pictures taken with the Galaxy Nexus? I'm interested in seeing what the phone's camera can do. I put five pictures I took on my GNex in my public album here, https://picasaweb.google.com/100939246550954797005/Public?authuser=0&feat=directlink . Here are a couple direct links: Outdoor shot Indoor shot Frankly, the camera isn't awesome, but it is better than my OG EVO 4G so I'm happy with it.

So is there a good chance that 4G LTE service will be activated on 5/18 when the HTC EVO 4G LTE and the Tri-fi Hotspot are released? Releasing the Gnex as a 4G LTE phone with no LTE service seemed a little strange, but it doesn't seem like Sprint should continue to release additional LTE products without LTE service.

tijag posted:I got my mom a Galaxy Nexus, and she has the FD02 update, but her 3G speeds are so slow its absurd. I think this has more to do with the Sprint network being crappy than it does with the phone. Sprint has not upgraded it's 3G network enough to keep up with the increased data usage of its customers. I'm guessing that sirbeefalot's fluctuations in speeds is due to peak usage times. Sprint is finally rolling out serious network upgrades this year, so depending on where you are located, you may want to hold off on switching phones until the upgrade. I believe 3G network upgrades will be rolling out with the 4G LTE upgrades they are doing.

tijag posted:This post here : http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus/544385-no-3g-service-after-fd02.html In view of all that, I take back what I said. It does sound like a phone issue. I don't think you should have an issue getting it swapped out at Sprint. My Gnex speeds are slow but typically still about 0.3 Mbps, and timeouts are very infrequent.

dundun posted:I really wanted the Evo 4g LTE but after seeing this video concerning its inability to multitask, I can't believe HTC hosed up ICS so badly. Hopefully SG3 turns out better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7Uo5f2vSxo I'm sure they will have a fix for this pretty quick. It looks like there are some extra memory management utilities in Sense that are not playing nicely with ICS. Edit - also, according to comments of that youtube video, this issue was addressed in a patch about a week ago traslin fucked around with this message at 22:05 on May 23, 2012 |

900ftjesus posted:Sounds like a typical Android response, actually. Google has figured out how to sync app data across phones, but the developers have to implement it in each of their apps. For example, all of my Dungeon Raid data came over automatically when I installed it on my new phone.

Paul Proteus posted:The multitasking issue has not been that big of a deal, although it definitely is present. So my main concern with the whole multitasking issues is that I won't be able to do simple things like listen to podcasts while I am surfing the net on my phone. I'm assuming HTC is smart enough to not kill the Music app when it is running in the background, but has anyone noticed any issues with other media apps?

falz posted:In case anyone is curious, this seems to run perfectly fine, all hardware (gps, bluetooth, etc) works. There currently don't seem to be any Cyanogen features such as notification power widget. Seems like straight up stock Jellybean, y'all should try it out. What is the word on 4G? I just got 4G on my stock phone, and I don't think I'm willing to lose it even for JB.

mastershakeman posted:I'm just super duper pessimistic. Does the original EVO have ICS yet? No, and it will never get it as far as I know. Also, there aren't even any stable ICS ROM's for the OG Evo that I'm aware of. I'm pretty sure the ship has sailed on that phone, and I'm not expecting any usable ICS builds on it ever since there likely will never be drivers for it that work in ICS.

I keep reading all these news releases about how NV is rolling out, but my 4G service in Houston is terrible. More than half the time it just doesn't work, and the times it does work it can't stay connected unless I'm stationary. I know it is early still, but I have not been impressed at all.

I finally got the latest Sprint Gnex update, so I wanted to update my statement above. My phone is now connecting to 4G a lot faster and actually staying connected, so it looks like things are definitely moving in the right direction with the update. I did notice that it seems like it takes a while for the phone to switch back to 3G mode after losing 4G, and I may have the opposite problem of the phone preferring 4G too much now. Regardless, my experience with 4G is vastly improved, so I'm finally feeling somewhat validated in my decision to buy into Sprints 4G network.
