Dropped my 3 week old Nexus face down on a tiled floor. Glass shattered, LCD is okI'm now trying to hunt down a repairer in Melbourne.
Feel really annoyed at myself.
Edit: had my Desire for years with no annoying mistake... have never broken a phone before!
damn dude that sucks hope it gets sorted out for you.

I have to switch my work SIM between devices quite often. Sometimes can get away with not powering off by going to airplane mode first. But more often than not, the phone will tell you to restart in order to initialize the SIM.

Meh, I don't care. When I was younger and thought specs made a difference, I would have. Right now, though, I don't care. My GN won't stop working once that one is released.
But I will try to swing the GSM version of the new model this summer when I move to europe

Sprint getting the better version of the Nexus? And from what has been shown so far to have none of the bloatware shit Verizon added? HAH!

It's alright. Over ten years ago my desktop was slower than this phone in terms of specs. We've come a long way. I upgraded from an S1 which isn't too old but I think I will be hanging onto Gnex for quite some time until the next big thing in another 2.5-3~ years I suppose.
i hope they washed their hands after they pulled it out of their ass.

AOKP M3 is out!! WOOT!!!
Nice, good timing. I have a feeling that there's still gonna be a bug or two in there though
Another .3-.5 GHz is not likely to make a huge difference in day-to-day use, aside from possibly running the battery out even faster.
Speaking of battery life...there's still no updates on when Verizon's 4.0.3 is hitting, is there? I figure there's likely to be at least a handful of tweaks specific to the LTE handset, so I'm waiting for that before I bother rooting and installing a custom ROM, so it will all be baked in.
i could care less about the .3 - .5ghz, care more about a 544 vs a 540 GPU

It will probably still more stable than stock. M2 ran like a champ.
Directions say you would need to do a full wipe if coming from m2 ...no exceptions!
If rumors are true and the gnex will get an upgrade(not just sprint version) the nexus philosophy is changing.
That's just show how underspec the gnex is in the first place. What happen to the once a year thing?
I guess the gnex is going mainstream ...

Got dammit, I just put on M2 yesterday. Oh well...
CPU frequency? Everyone I know pairs it with Franco's kernel, so the actual clocks vary from person to person. Stock rom leaves the CPU at stock speeds with the option to OC up to 1.35ghz.
Haha, there's always rumors about the Nexus products getting a quick "bump" right after it releases. They always end up being radio changes.

Clean wiped and put on M3 with Franco. Feels good, man.
For the future, how do you guys clean install? I do it via wiping completely, installing, then reinstalling everything through the OS. It's a pain but at least I know everything is done properly.
Is it possible to back up your data, wipe, put on the new ROM, then restore data through nandroid? How about Titanium Backup? Does that cause things to run like crap when restoring?

Yeah. It just sounds good on paper. The truth is, you hardly ever make full use of it in real world usage.
I wipe the dalvik/cache/data a few times just to be safe. As for apps, Titanium has always made my phones run like shit after re-installing them, so I just do the re-installs using the market. It's time consuming, but cleaner.

M3 + Franco 15 has been out for less than a day. I'm using it and it seems good so far but no one can say anything definitive just yet.
It works fantastically with M3. His new turtle governor in particular is a fantastic battery saver.
However, if you're seeing great results with your current setup, then stick with it unless you're bored. If you reeeaaally want to switch, do a Nandroid first.
but this time its for real for real

Thats good to hear...cause I'm crazy and would want the better spec version.
When I recommend people to wait for a better spec phone with ICS, people was bashing me saying its not about specs and that a Nexus phone is only once a year thing......
This is what I do when I try new roms.
1. Titanium backup,"Back up all apps"
2. SMS Backup & Restore, back up my text.
3. Nandroid back up.
4. I wipe the data/cache/dalvik
5. Follow Rom instruction for rom install
6. After the new rom is install, sign in google account and that should automatically install apps from market place. Let everything install before doing Titanium.
7. Install all missing up with titanium back up. Use "Restore missing apps with data" this will install app that you didn't install from market place like amazon & get getjar.
8. Try out the rom and If I don't like it ...I will restore previous rom with nandroid.
Never had issues trying out new roms. Everything goes smooth. I think I've tried every single rom/kernal/radio on the tuna...
M3 + franco 15 is awesome! battery is good so far, goes to deep sleep when it should. M2+ franco 15 got me like 20 hours with 2 1/2 screen time...thats fantastic.
Update: Got 11 hours with 3 hour screen time mostly surfing the net/youtube on wifi and moderate calls and text. 30 percent left on battery with francoTurle....very nice, could never done that with the Iphone 4s. This phone is awesome!!
are you sure about the 4s part? I'm pretty sure that people get like 6± hours of screen time on that thing if I'm not mistaking. Didn't anantech show bench marks of it doing wifi for like 10+ hours?

Yup, my real life experience with the 4s.....it was pretty bad, probably battery issues. My tuna was getting pretty horrible life in the beginning too though.
Can really compare maguro with the 4s...4s doesn't have LTE.
Here's my M3 + Franco 15:
Screen on: 60 minutes
CPU total: 50 minutes
Keep awake: 120 minutes
Still meh. The low screen on time is not impressive.
Laughable stats, buy an iphone.
Screen on: 62 minutes
CPU total: 144 minutes
Keep awake: 227 minutes
Stock 4.0.2 + extended battery
Holy shit this combo actually feels faster and the customization is nearly perfect. I love this phone, it's extremely capable. If the battery life is great I'm not moving away from this from at all...
Edit: why is Wi-Fi so much faster now? What is this black magic? I just hope that I see no more little bugs around cause this phone is amazing right now. All we needed was a great camera as the final addition =(

Similar experience:
Screen: 86 minutes
CPU: 43m
Awake: 165m
The fall in the last 20 minutes was gchat video conferencing...never used it before but damn does it drain the battery.
EDIT: Also stock 4.0.2 extended battery. LTE on the whole time

Yeah M3 + franco 15.1 is a sweet combo with alot of options. The gnex is getting better and better.
I learned to deal with the horrible camera by using different camera apps.
I like camera zoom FX for the options and shutter button.
I don't get how you guys get better battery life
Turn your brightness down
Turn off Google's location service
Turn off Location & Google search
Don't install the Facebook app
Don't initialize the G+ app
Don't use apps that poll the network frequently
Keep your wifi on if you're around a network you have access to
Fuck! Might as well leave your phone at home. >_>
I get a good 20+ hours of battery life for my daily use. Usually 18 hours on battery with about 20% left before I plug it in at night to go to bed.
I do agree that the FB app is just an insane battery drainer, more so than the G+ app. The G+ app doesn't eat up battery unless you are using it.
