Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

Morning folks! I'm not sure what it is, but my phone has been acting strange recently and I almost reached my breaking point with it yesterday. Recently I've had to toggle airplane mode quite frequently when switching between 3G and 4G because it will lose the data connection even with full signal. More common than that, every time I leave the house or anywhere connected to wifi, it does the same thing.

Well yesterday, it added another frustration to the list. We're out and about trying to find a particular store in Nashville and my data is fine, it searches and finds several stores and I click to get nav to one of them. I gave it 10 minutes or so in the parking lot and it never found GPS signal. So I turn GPS off and on...still nothing. Put it up in my windshield...nothing. So I go to reboot it and it locks completely up. Finally turns off and then the danged thing wont turn back on even after a battery pull! I finally got it powered back up and it navigated fine afterwards...but it seems anything I want to do something I have to reboot or toggle something. I was ready to throw the thing out the window and file a claim with the insurance I bought at Radio Shack. I'm going to wait till 4.2 ROMS come out and try flashing some of those, but if this doesn't stop I'm going to have to do something. Actually tried a couple of days ago to convince my wife to think about buying out of our Verizon contract, selling our phones, buying Nexus 4's and going with straight talk wireless...that would cut our cell bill in half almost! That may be the road I take if this continues.
 
Sorry gEEk, I sometimes have frustrating issues with my 4G and GPS as well. It has always been a little buggy, not consistent. I love it nonetheless, and almost wish I could convince my wife to let me keep it if I get the DNA as a back-up phone, instead of selling it to recoup some cost. It has been my favorite Android phone yet.
 
I wish I could buy out my contract for my 3 lines and move prepaid, but those etf's really add up. Plus having to buy new phones, it's just too much upfront money. Also something I find odd is that If you look at Verizon's trade in program, our Gnex's (117) are currently worth more than a GS3(96 or 108). I wonder how they figured that out.
 
Sorry about the troubles guys... I have been switching roms trying to find peace between me and the Nexy.
Specifically having issues with battery life and gps locks. I am in a great 4G area, if I am not at home with cable and WiFi, so the connection handoff have been fine... Although I had the same issues you described when I was on AOKP M1 this week... Kept having to reboot. But JBSourcery and CNA were fine, just laggy and battery drains... All of it compared to JellyBelly tho...
I have gone back to JellyBelly v10 as of this morning. Full 4.2 rom and Gapps.... Locked on GPS even in the house in less than 5sec..love it. Plus I get my toggles with Notification Toggles app.... Anyways, enough of the free advert, but just saying....
I still love this phone, love the ability to change it up and the functionality... Works great for me!

TGIF folks!
 
I'm happy, splashtop 2 added support for android phones now. Now I can access my desktop anywhere and not just on wifi. Just found another perk to keeping that unlimited data
 
I might go back to JB for stability and having 4.2 already.

My only "need-to-know" if it has quick PIN unlock - that's a huge convenience feature for me and my fingers remember not to reach over to Ok.
 
So anyone else following the debacle that is the N4 launch? Brings back fond memories of what we were dealing with 4 years ago. :p Amazing, because Verizon isn't even involved this time!

Seen 'em all and read one of the books. Not a bad series. The teeny boppers give it a bad name. Saw the second one with the wife on a midnight showing at an upscale theater that had a nice bar area and such and I've never seen so many drunk middle-aged women act that way in my life....acted worse than the teenagers!

EDIT: I'm lucky enough to work at a place where you can hear a guy discussing something and within 30 seconds hear the following words: male, female, nipple, male size, and 3-way and not being talking about anything sexual.

<--- Neither has this guy and he really doesn't mind :D

Waiting to see if Disney ruins Star Wars by bringing Darth Vader back from certain death (and cremation) as rumored, or if they will move along into a new series of adventures - which is the whole purpose of more movies anyway...

I saw an article today stating that Kennedy lady wants to do multiple movies a year of different characters like the avengers. It could have been bogus.

Wait, WHAT? Bringing Vader back? They had best not even think about desecrating the franchise like that.
