What do you miss from your previous phone that you wish the Nexus 4 had?

I miss the vibrator on my S3, It was much more powerful. I also miss the feel of the S3. I liked the rounded smooth.

The Social Hub/People Hub from Windows Phone.
That was always a winner in my eyes, you never got that on any device... well I can't say any.. Still it was one of my favorite reasons to choose WP over iOS and Android. Just had my Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn all in one place. Can reply from there and all that goodness.
Also being able to pin my Girlfriends Facebook/Twitter and what not onto my homescreen to see when she updated her facebook status and tweeted.BlackBerry Bold 9700>iPhone 4>iPhone 4S>NOKIA Lumia 900>Samsung Galaxy Nexus>LG Nexus 4>Asus Nexus 7 - 02-11-2013, 01:28 PM #4

Re: Your Previous Phone vs Nexus 4
I came from a blackberry so I sort of liked how it had a red icon to show you had an unread message. Also, I liked how a notification wouldnt go away unless you actually addressed it, in Android I can sometimes accidently swipe the notification and forget I have something to reply to. I thought I'd miss the feature of how bb incorporate all your message type notification into one message centre. But, I just look at all my messages through the notification bar so its not that much missed.

Re: Your Previous Phone vs Nexus 4
I had the Galaxy Nexus, and while I thought it was a great phone, I don't miss anything about it. The N4 is better in every way. I certainly don't miss my Verizon bill.

Re: Your Previous Phone vs Nexus 4
Lots of things.
-iOS was getting stale for me. The update from ICS to JB is what sold me. I think at that point Google proved that android could be just as smooth and fast as iOS and is capable of so much more.
-The larger screens with the same or higher PPI than the "retina" displays drew me in.
-The nerd in me! I was finding that the iPhone just wasnt as usable for me if it wasnt jailbroken. I was noticing, and have now confirmed, that almost all of those tweeks I had installed through Cydia came stock or could be added without root on Android. I am unlocked and rooted now though and just flashed my first kernel last night.
-The pace at which android is moving is incredible. You don't get that with Apple.
I came from the 3GS and then the 4S and loved them both. I was, and still am, an Apple fan. But I think it was time for me to try the other side. I couldn't just sit on one side of the fence. I also can't say that I would never go back. Depending on what Johny Ive does with iOS over the next couple of years, I may go back. For now though, I'm here to stay. I love android. I love that I have experience with both sides now and feel I can offer better advice to people and be less biased.
TL;DR Time for change

Re: Your Previous Phone vs Nexus 4
The only thing I miss about my last phone (International HTC One X) is the fact that the back didn't have a crack in it after 2 months use... Other than that this phone is superior in every way...
