***Official Galaxy Nexus Pre-Release speculation thread**

There are currently no 4G Galaxy S smartphones offered by VZW. I think I win :D

So this means that as of this press release, the Gnex was still on for 11/17?(Press release was 11-9-11)


The gnex is not a galaxy s phone. They were just elaborating that the stratosphere is a galaxy s phone.
 
I didn't realize we were in the same area! Awesome :)

even hearing the word dog and Detroit in the same paragraph makes me think if the whole Ace debacle this week :-(

Me too. Quite a few of my patients work for Verizon here in metro detroid. I always try to ask them about new phones, unfortunately they usually know less than I do.

EDIT: Just saw I put "detroid" in stead of Detroit. Was that a freudian slip?

Best I can do is a shout out - these days, I'm basking on the high desert in New Mexico.

Yeah, sorry, I wasn't even thinking - no coffee yet. I still can't over the callousness of how the city handled that one.
 
not sure why, but ogd's seem to have a high number going bad around the 2 year mark with screen/digitizer issues. Granted very small sample size based on talking online.

The camera on mine won't focus 9 times out of 10. I either have to smack the phone down on a table or repeatedly press the physical camera button halfway down a bunch of times. This is extremely frustrating when I'm trying to take a photo of my kids.

Hmmm...we may be overthinking this one a bit, since technically if you have a "Galaxy S Device" in your hands now and have LTE where you are it is supported. And we do know a few are floating around in the wilderness. Or I may be overthinking it. Who knows at this point...my brain is a puddle of Nexus goo.
 
I have to say the camera on my D3 has alot to be desired. The camera is a huge reason at looking at the Nexus.

edit: 100 posts.. yeah..

I've got a friend transplanted to Arizona - he hates the dryness in the desert.

no worries :) im just closer to the issue than some because the rescue im adopting from was the one behind trying to save him. I am very much in a positive mood re dogs bringing them line today!!

I used to know someone at Google and also at a local Best Buy who ere great for info but sadly I am not close with either anymore - Google guy was a phone tester too! I had a hands on with the OGD about 2 months before launch. I felt so cool haha. ;)
 
My Droid died earlier this year. Wouldn't even boot up right.

Turns out it was the microSD card that had gone bad! :eek:

I replaced the stock 16GB card with a standby 32GB card and she has worked well (well, as well as can be expected of a 20year old Droid :rolleyes: ) ever since.

Just hoping she'll hold out until Gnex releases...

EDIT: Very important tip here:

ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR SD CARD TO YOUR COMPUTER! EARLY AND OFTEN!!!
 
Woohoo!

My phone is working again!!!

I left the battery out for a few minutes, popped it back in, plugged it into the computer, and the USB light came on and then it rebooted by itself!

Frakking Droid. Almost gave me a heart attack! I'm going to buy lunch and a massage for it today.
 
I'm going to try and stop by a Verizon during lunch to check out the RAZR as well, however I'm sold on the GNex already. Phandroid's reveiw just helped confirm this. I also want to see if my store has the GNex cases in too.
 
Woohoo!

I get the same feeling when I get mine working again. Glad you could get it to display again this time. I swear it's just that the phone is frozen and you gotta nudge it a bit to be responsive again. Very similiar to the elderly.

Exactly what I said! Had the same exact thing with my incredible.

Happened to mine ivwr the summer too but with work I wasn't in a position to keep nudging it along. Forced me to use my lines upgrade back in July :(

Remember when there was the issue with the internal time causing focusing issues on the OG Droid? Man those were the days.

Woohoo!

Yay! *high five*


Yeah, it's just poor punctuation. The Samsung page clearly states it's a Galaxy S phone.

D'oh!

I gave up on using the ogd for any useful pix. It seems to be a trend with Motorola, not sure if it is hardware or firmware/software. In the end, it doesn't matter, just poor cameras.

This is one of the many reasons I want the gnex. It apparently has a (very) usable camera.
