Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

Don't ship any Sim card, as the buyer will need to get their own.

Ok, but what happens if I do ship it to them? I jumped the gun and told them I'd send it because I'll be getting a new one with my new phone.

What I'm planning on doing is this: After work I will go to Verizon and purchase my new phone and activate it on my current line. The Nexy will obviously be deactivated.

I will then ship the Nexy out to the buyer, presumably with the 4G sim card installed. Once he activates it on Verizon, all will be good, no? His 4G usage won't show up on my bill, right?

:confused:

The sim is tied to you. Just let the buyer know you found this out and you won't be sending it along. My speculation is that it would be useless to him anyway, but I'm not sure if any of your info is on it.
 
The never version of Sense is called Blink Feed. Or, Htc version of Windows Phone for Android.

I don't see Verizon listed in the press release, if anyone was interested in it. I think Verizon will get a different version.
 
I honestly have NO idea what phone I want to get when my GNex time is up.

Honestly I feel I could last MUCH longer if the camera on this thing was decent - its pretty awful honestly.

You know, that's exactly what pushed me over the edge!!

We were out with some friends a few days ago in downtown Chicago, and of course we were all taking pics. I pulled out my trusty Nexy at the Bean and snapped a few photos. My wife's phone-that-shall-not-be-named turned out with stunning pics! Mine looked like crap. That's when I finally gave Nexy a sad look and decided to take her out to the woodshed.

Not to mention that her 4G signal is always full in the same spot that mine is at 1 bar or on 3G signal. But the picture comparisons were just too much.

I'm now waffling on maybe activating an old droid that my dad gave me and waiting til the SGS IV, or maybe taking the plunge now and going with the sheep.

I really love my DNA, camera is much better, and i get fantastic signal... And since you are ok with the iPhone, the non removable battery and no sd card isn't a deal breaker...

Have you experienced an S3 yet? I think it is a great phone and I'm sure the S4 will be even better.

Yes, I'm going to check out the DNA before I buy anything.

My dad has an S3 and loves it. I've played around with it some, and it's pretty good, but doesn't really blow me away. I'm tempted to at least wait out the S4 announcement and see what's what, though...

argh
 
if all the roumours come true about the S4 including the samsung enxos(sp) processor that thing will be a wet dream to any techie ... it could almost be the phone to end all ... to have octa CPU and GPU with 2 GB of ram ... what more you you want let alone need in a smartphone? i mean it would be better then 95% of all other computers in use today

Good camera & battery. That's it.
 
I don't understand why Oems are still releasing devices with non removable batteries with less than a 3000 mAh capacity. It's practically a crime consisting Motorola released the Razr maxx a year ago and no one has followed that example on their flagship devices. If it wasn't for those locked bootloaders.

Oh, put ME on the hook, will ya? :p

It's really hit or miss: my son is on JB Sourcery and has a few squirrelly issues that I don't have. I have found that Popcorn v12 is a pretty snappy kernel when flashed with 4.5.5... but yeah, there is some lag nonetheless.

Could be that our RAM is filling up with "stuff". Could be it's just tired.

Could be that the Nexus (much like I suspected of the OG Droid before it) has a "self-destruct" chip in it that tells it to start acting in infuriating ways right about upgrade time. Do I smells a conspiracy? ;)

All I can suggest is what you've likely already done: clean caches, keep running apps to a minimum, move what you can to internal memory... all the usual suspects.

And wait it out until (a) March 14th when the SGS4 is unleashed or (b) late May when the Motorola/Nexus X is put out there for us to salivate over.

Fortunately I'm still very happy with my GNex so I'm not in a rush to replace it. (A better camera would be nice!) I got an iPad mini for my birthday so that satisfies my geek need for a while.

That said, the S3 does look nice so I imagine I may be tempted by the S4.
 
Now I have a conundrum. Thanks to a heads up post from EarlyMon, I have become aware that I shouldn't use my big tank battery because it had apparently swelled /expanded and isn't safe. If I want to buy a second one, it's going to cost me 35 dollars before tax and shipping when I originally bought it for 15. Do I do it or go back to using two batteries?

It feels weird being this thin. I had gotten so use to the thickness the big battery added.

Check with VZW. I think they put all of their GNex accessories half off when they EOL'd the device. The may still have some OEM extended batteries.
