Does anyone have a vzw gnex without problems?

No issues here. I had a Fasinate that I rooted and ROMed the hell out of to make sure it worked the way I wanted it. With this phone I root and am ROMing the hell out of it...because now I am addicted! :eek:

..but ROMed the battery life is better, I have toggles in the task bar (turn LTE off when not using it)...DAM I love this phone. :rolleyes:
 
My wife and I got our GNexes on launch day. Mine has frozen once or twice, and I've had a couple random reboots, but overall my GNex has been solid. My wife hasn't had any issues whatsoever with her GNex.
 
I intially had some reboot issues. Swapped a new battery in and have had zero issues since. Great phone.
 
Aside from the volume issue (which I forgot I had, cuz I got Volume+ on day one and haven't thought about it sense), the only problem I had was the 3G/4/G handoff issue.

I work on the edge of 4G territory, and I used to have to restart my phone a few times a week because I'd lose data when it tried to switch between 3G/4G...It wasn't consistent....but it was enough to be annoying. Well, it occurred to me recently, that for some reason, I haven't had to restart because of data connectivity issues for several weeks now. I'm stock, not rooted, and haven't manually updated or anything.


Without that problem, I freaking love this phone! Just need to fill in some holes with the ICS app compatibility...
 
I was bug free stock and now I'm bug free with a custom rom.

The only "issue" is compared to my previous phone (thunderbolt) the reception is not as good as I'm used to. But it's adequate.
 
Only problem I had with mine was once out of the blue, all my app icons and selections in menu's became swapped around randomly (weird bug but easily resolved after a reboot). And once I got a call that was ridiculously harsh (like someone turned the treble all the way up on a radio and then some).

Other than that, no problems and still completely stock. Reception turned out to be a non-issue and battery drain can be pretty bad at times, its still pretty manageable.
 
I've had one reboot, and one time my signal dropped. The signal came back on two seconds later, and have never had an issue with speed or strength since. Considering there's only one 4G tower where I live, pretty awesome if you ask me. And I think the reboot was caused because I had too much stuff going on with my phone at once, sort of like it was overloaded or something. Other than those two very minor issues, no problems here for the month I've owned it. I bought it brand new, over the phone as an upgrade from Verizon.

I was so tempted to get the Rezound or RAZR, but realized while I was arguable getting a phone that *could ever so slightly* be better than the Gnex, I wouldn't have been happy with a skinned launcher and would've wanted to just throw CM9 on there for stock Android. I decided to save the trouble and just go with the Nexus, and couldn't be happier.

I wouldn't consider that as signal dropped. Yours seems very good.

I agree.

Someone on another site said their only issues was it takes 5 - 10 seconds to switch from 3G to 4G. I also dont consider that an issue either.

Minutes...yea....a few seconds....no problems to me.

It is a lil annoying when you are using the signal at that time tho. My RAZR dropped the signal for some seconds yesterday while I was reading the forums with the forum app. Did it a few times too. I just hit refresh when the signal came back. In that instance minutes can be very frustrating.
