Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

+1 to that Chief!
Honestly its one of those things.... (first world problems and all...)
My wife was laughing at me the whole time because I knew what was coming... And she could tell there was nothing I could say to change the outcome.
 
Strongly considering Straight Talk here. :o
Verizon is a stronghold on you, but I guess I'm just tired of their locked down, bloated phones. Least I have until May or so to decide (I'm not paying an ETF).
 
I'm going the prepaid route after this contract. I unfortunately have until the 15th of December next year for that option to be available without paying an etf. If google continues this trend of low priced, high quality hardware gsm nexus phones, it will make it very manageable.

Hmmm. Note II coming to Verizon... maybe by the time my contract is up next December the Note III or Nexus 5 will be out :D

Yes, the all new Note III with its 6 inch, 1080p screen. At what size does it cease to be a phone and become a tablet? But I think we can all pray for a Moto Nexus 5, the ultimate fantasy of many of us fandroids.
 
I think I may move away from Verizon too. Their plans are oppressive and hard to figure out, and I'm getting frustrated with the overall experience. They may have the best 4G coverage, but I'm in a city where pretty much every network has 4G coverage, and rarely travel to places that wouldn't have 4G. I don't think AT&T would be a much better choice in terms of customer service and bloated plans, but I've heard that Sprint's "truly unlimited" is a pretty decent choice, and I'd love to get my hands on the Nexus 4.
 
Razor, I'm with you. I don't think there's a carrier who doesn't have solid coverage in the DC metro area. And, honestly, I drop LTE in certain parts on Verizon.
Just tired of $200/month for two phones. :(
 
Wow dread, they really have you in a vice grip. Even though Rochester isn't the giant metro that DC or NYC is, we do have verizon & at&t lte, and t-mobile hspa+42. No sprint lte here and probably won't be for a while. T-Mobile does have unlimited data and a lot of people seem to average 8mbps on it, while even on verizon lte I only average 6. That 30 dollar t-mobile prepaid plan is just such a great deal.
 
If I have to utilize wifi at work or home that's fine. What I've seen from HSPA speeds that's fine for me. LTE has shown down considerably for me in the passed year.
Just scared about if I leave the area and need better coverage but that's why I'd go contract free.

Good early morning Gnexers! :D

Wow, everyone's jumping ship from JBSourcery to try the latest and greatest, huh? Is 4.2 worth it? I think Ginny and I will stick to JBSourcery until they release their 4.2 ROM :)

Got ready though: flashed TWRP 2.3.2.1 in preparation!

Yeah, I've jumped ship for at least the time being. Miss the great customization of Sourcery, but I love the speed and smoothness of Jelly Belly.
 
Perhaps we discussed this a while ago, but can someone fill me in on why we're using TWRP instead of ClockworkMod now? I've still got a fairly old version of CWM, but it's never messed up any flashing. Is this dangerous on my part? If I wanted to find TWRP, where would I get it? Thanks in advance :)
 
Razor, I don't know. I have TWRP on both my phone and N7 but I keep them up to date. Seems there was an issue with some version 6.x CWM's that were bricking phones and lately the multi profile thing tossed the recovery devs for a loop. Best I can say is upgrade to the latest and hope for the best.

The easiest way to get twrp is to download the goomanager beta app, give it root, hit the options, and hit install OpenRecoveryScript. We tend to like twrp because it has more features including a keyboard in recovery for naming nandroids.
 
Hey all, busy busy day. Grocery shopping, go to Lowes to pick up my order, grabbed a friends ladder, church, lunch at our favorite Mexican, then Christmas decorations, that took 4 hours :p. But to share the results:

First full day battery results on eclipse 3.0 b3. Impressive compared to sourcery if I say so.

Thanks guys. So has ROM Manager fallen out of favor?

I don't even touch that app anymore.
Use TWRP on my Gnex and CWM on my N7 (kept having strange problems with TWRP). The interface of TWRP is leaps and bounds above CWM. Aside from being touch based there's a lot more you can do within recovery and it has a handy battery meter too. :)
