Interesting, 69 stars. So 69 people were able to get the phone on that awful launch

Come on, all new devices have problems of some sort, and this is still not confirmed yet.

LG has done a terrific job, much better than SS. SS withheld all key technologies for later use on GS3 and turned GNex into crap if not for Google's design and software.

What about HTC? They now don't need Google. Their new friends are MS and Apple.

Once again here u go blowing off, and covering for a google misstep, but if its apple u go all in on them.

LOL, I said nothing about numerous iPhone 5 bugs like WIFI, keyboard... b-c I knew those were minor ones that any new phones could have and could be fixed quickly.

I think this one is the same (if confirmed), a small bug and will be fixed in the nearest update.

Darkkjedil : Mr.Meocao hates apple .
Mr.Meocao . When the GNexus is launched the OS is a massive leap over 2.3 and the HD screen is a first . While 4.2 is just a minor update and nothing special that stands the Nexus 4 apart from other android phones .

Thats the reason why i pick HTC Nexus One and Galaxy nexus as the best nexus phones . I mean , Nexus S wasnt really a big leap over nexus one and Nexus 4 wasnt really a big leap over Gnexus . Still hate the galaxy nexus name though they should have used nexus prime

That's true. Well said.

42. darkkjedii (Posts: 24356; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)

MeoCao c'mon man, u know u r hella biased against apple. If the ip5 and N4 have an identical issue (purple lens flare anyone) u go off on the ip5, and cover for the N4 lol. C'mon admit it, cuz ur posts confirm it bro.

46. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)

48. darkkjedii (Posts: 24356; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)

U said it bro, and every word is spot on true.

50. thelegend6657 (unregistered)

I am starting to think he hates every thing . He used to be a Samsung fan boy that defends Samsung to the death , well as you can see , not anymore

54. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)

wouldnt suprise me if he's just some little kid thinking he's funny when he slags off other choices that aren't android

i mean if he believes all the crap he says then he has problems

Yes, you are correct, but with one big difference. If you have an Apple device with a problem, you have options. You can go to the Apple store and exchange the device, to the store, or mail the device to Apple, guaranteed repair or replacement within three days time with next air shipment. Also, the Apple store lets you use a device until your unit is repair, if you decide to go that route. Now, contrast that with Google, my 13 day old GNx. Screen problem and overheating. Google puts you in contact with Samsung; Samsung tells you to ship the device and you're really sh*t out of luck if you don't have a backup device. Also, you are lucky if you get it returned within thirteen days, and getting a new device good luck. At the end, it all comes down to customer service. You may hate Apple but their service second to none.

Well said and true, cuz I went thru that with a sprint gs2

55. andygallo (Posts: 39; Member since: 21 Oct 2011)

I believe if you buy it from a third party retailer, Google will tell you to deal with the manufacturer. If you buy it directly from the Play Store, then that's a different story.

I only have one experience with Google customer service and considering they don't have a store you can walk into, it was quite painless for me.

I noticed some screen issues after about 2 months of use on my Nexus 7 (slight lifting on the left side). I went online, filled out the RMA form and, within an hour, received and email with a pre-paid shipping label for the return and confirmation of 2nd day shipping of the replacement. They gave me two weeks to send mine back with the pre-paid label.

If I wind up getting another Nexus device, I'm only buying thru the Play Store.

56. thelegend6657 (unregistered)

In some countries google play store isnt available , like mine

I'll tell u a story:

A wolf and a sheperd dog were friends. The dog told the wolf: "I'm better off than you, I'm never hungry. When I get sick I'm cured and I have a warm place to sleep. Come to my place and enjoy the comfort together".

The wolf was convinced so he visited the dog's place, spent there a day then he left. The dog was very surprised and asked why. Then the wolf said: "You won't understand, this is not my life, I can't live w/o freedom"

The dog was perplexed: "Freedom? What's that? Is it as good as my bone?"

Android is FREEDOM, my friend. LOL Happy holidays.

58. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)

that has to be the dumbest thing ive ever read, your trying to compare actual freedom a need that drives people through life to a mobile os...............and you say your not a fanboy lol

can i tell you a story

there once was a tech revolution, tech moved forward at a fast rate, but those who enjoy tech started choosing sides

this went on until those who always bragged about freedom and openness started attacking others over there freedom to choose.

those that used to say openness is what mattered had become as closed minded as the os's they complain about

i know needs abit of work but you get the point

66. darkkjedii (Posts: 24356; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)

Dude u destroyed him with that... Simply destroyed him

64. darkkjedii (Posts: 24356; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)

Dude that was the wackest crap ever. The wolf isn't free, it's controlled by the government that allows hunters to kill a certain amount, oh and lets not mention poachers. We'll call the hunters, and poachers android malware lol. Nice try though, but u r a sensationalist.

59. hobble (Posts: 130; Member since: 11 Oct 2011)

LG makes terrible phones. Nuff said.

67. darkkjedii (Posts: 24356; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)

Hardware wise I've never been impressed with LG, and there skin is a direct knockoff of Touchwiz UI.

70. joey_sfb (Posts: 6538; Member since: 29 Mar 2012)

MeoCao which lg phone do you own especially the great ones? I own 2 lg phones and they both suck!! buggy unfix software.

71. MeoCao (unregistered)

I know LG phones are not the best, that's why they are not as successful as SS or even HTC until now.

On the other hand LG has improved a lot recently and I'm impressed with Optimus G. And design of some models of Optimus G is very good.

Nexus 4 is different, this is Google software and design and LG did a good job manufaturing the phone.

41. eli577 (Posts: 84; Member since: 29 Jun 2010)

LOL, are you actually sayin that popular devices are the best as well? I can tell you a lot about One X or SGS3 because I own them both, and they've got their flaws as well.

45. JunitoNH (Posts: 1934; Member since: 15 Feb 2012)

I have to agree, LG can't even make a good old fashion flip phone, with a good battery. Lg needs to stick with tvs and washing machines.

51. thelegend6657 (unregistered)

Or bluray players

62. theo14461 (unregistered)

I have to say that I owned the Optimus G on AT&T, and had no problems, worked great, speed, call quality, browser, camera, all worked fine.
