Galaxy Nexus users having issues with volume, media goes crazy

im all for sammy having success with this phone but since amazon was having that sale i couldnt pass up an sgs2 epic touch for just a penny. i had to get away from the kyocera echo. da*n hinge finally broke -_-

lol, you still gave sammy some money. I feel ya. If i were up for switching carriers n such, that free SGS2 would have sold me.

Especially since theyve discovered they can change the resolution on it to 720p like the nexus and its stronger than the nexus anyways, so it will perform better under ICS. Kind of a win win there.

How can they change the resolution? If you really can this might change my descision on my next phone.

I knew ICS would be full of bugs... Last I mentioned it people were all thumbing me down but NOW WHAT? its a rushed OS put on a POS phone with a rushed and ugly screen and a OLDA$$ gpu thats laughable. So much for the high hopes of having the GREATEST phone this year. Oh and don't forget that nasty camera which could hold a candle light to "other" phones which I won't be naming.

Are you feaking kidding me!! You must have not read this article earlier this week:

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Samsung-GALAXY-Nexus-tops-Apple-iPhone-4S-in-browser-benchmark-tests-trails-it-in-graphics_id23915

Not to mention we both know what would happen if each of these devices accidentally got dropped. Well lets just say with the Nexus one would still have a fully functional phone vs the iPhone which would be a total disaster. Now take your iTard ass some where else with all the bs your talking.

That dude is clearly a bonified iTard.

Oh yeah you're right. On second thought AppleLover is a troll too. But still no reason to call someone itards. That's even closer to a troll.

I agree, but AppleLover is clearly a legitimate iTard.

It's only trolling if it's an unnecessary comment being used to provoke some sort of argument.

Example:

Calling all hispanics "border hoppers" is a racial slur.
Calling the dude at the police station who's being arrested for crossing the border illegally a "border hopper" is appropriate.

In this case, he's being a freakin' iTard.

I agree with you but on a half-note. Verizon tests the phones to a certain extent before selling them to the public, because they feel it is solely the manufacturer's responsibility to ship them a functional product.

Personally, I've gone through 4 replacement OG Droid's, the last 3 of which I have not downloaded a single third-party app, in less than 18 months. I do not blame VZW entirely (they say they do a 100-point check of every refurbished unit they send out; I'm calling BS on that), but I do believe they deserve some of the blame.

Overall, I believe the entire process is so frustrating on both consumers and suppliers, that carriers just say "eff it, here you go. We'll fix the 'small stuff' later." Neither the media nor consumers are forgiving, even though the blame ought to be shared by everyone as a whole. The pressure caused by consumers is put on manufacturers to rush a "perfect" product that has glitches, which leads to carrier heat from those same demanding consumers. A cycle of hypocrisy.

Refurbished replacements suck. Once you send in your original phone to be replaced, you can almost guarantee that you're going to go through several replacements. And since Verizon canned the No Lemon policy (known during its existence as the Multi FRU Replacement policy, wherein three issues with three separate phones, which could include the original, guaranteed a brand new equivalent phone-so long as you could get to a Verizon store) the last glimmer of hope for a lasting remedy for frustrated users has disappeared from Verizon.

they got rid of the multi-FRU?!?!?!? boo.

And Taco, see above. Having multiple replacements is a standard experience for anyone who receives a refurbished warranty or especially an insurance phone. It truly sucks, but it's the carrier's fault and not the manufacturer's. And it's most certainly not Android's fault.

remixfa, I really respect the degree of knowledge you seem to have on phones, I was hoping you could help me with a personal decision on buying. Is there anyway I could reach you or should I just post it as a comment to one of these articles?

Just mentioning "remixfa" instantly earns you thumbs down.

NOW I see why it's not released. Again Samsung forgoes quality control and tries to release a half baked effort. Honestly, who in the hell are they trying to fool here? They botched the Nexus S with all the problems it had, and they had ample time to fix that for the Galaxy Nexus.

42. willardcw4 posted on 21 Nov 2011, 18:37 4 2

the iP4S was 'delayed' and there are still problems with that phone... they had plenty of time to hash out those issues, yet, didn't...

7. Zayuh24 posted on 21 Nov 2011, 12:27 1 0

Yeah, it's all "he say/she say" nowadays with Verizon. They used to be much better in getting the word out about popular products. They spent too long advertising the Razr and i4s that they forgot about advertising the Rezound and the Galaxy Nexus. It is pretty hard to talk about three huge devices in one month, though.

8. superguy posted on 21 Nov 2011, 12:34 2 0

Yawn. Until I see announcement from Verizon, I\'m not believing any rumors ... even from VZW employees.

How's your iOS 5 battery life?

Not trying to start another war, but every damn phone seems to have either a hardware or software bug these days.

21. tacohunter posted on 21 Nov 2011, 13:40 1 0

My iPad is still on a version of ios 4. But I don't go for ios 5 till i'm completely sure the bugs are of the past.

also i post as many times as I can on the iPad.

Awww. Where is your sense of adventure? I thought that battery-gate was just a 'minor bug'?

Not everyone does experience this. What's wrong with my decision to stay on ios4 for the moment. i'm just not taking any risks.

My iPad can live so long without a recharge. Unbelievable and only a small hour to recharge from 4%.

Also this is posted on the iPad. As 90% of my comments.

Ummm. The latest chatter on the Mac forums seems to be that Apple won't have a complete solution to battery-gate until iOS v. 5.0.2. I guess the third time is the charm, huh?

31. tacohunter posted on 21 Nov 2011, 14:08 2 1

Yeap, and you think people can be perfect enouph, and never make mistakes?

33. Droid_X_Doug posted on 21 Nov 2011, 14:12 1 0

Well, it seems VZW is holding off releasing the G-Nexus until the obvious issues are sorted out. If memory serves, they did the same thing on the Bionic.

It isn't rocket science. Just requires some discipline.

I was hesitant to get another Samsung anyhow. I had two different Rogues (from different plants even) with different electrical/antenna problems. I love Sammy's hardware, but I can't trust the assembly quality.
