I think it's a towers issue for some. My phone has misbehaved in other cities. It lags gray when I drive downtown but comes back (sometimes I'll toggle it back).

That's a thought. I wonder if there is also the possibility that it has something to do with how ICS interacts with LTE.

I'd also like to add on. I love mine. This is the first phone that I've had in a long time where I'm not sitting and waiting to see what is released next.

This is a shameless post to bump this to the top. I really would like this thread to outshine all the hate threads.

Can you tell I freaking love this phone?

Agreed. I dunno about people who have constant issues with the GN - there must be a dozen people at work that have the launch day version of the phone and love it.

Mine isn't launch day (I only got it a few weeks ago), but its better than my Droid X in every respect - reception, call quality, speed and reliability.

Its by far the best device I've ever owned - ever.

I got a launch day one. Love it... so much better phone and mobile computer than the thunderbolt. Do I miss being able to browse while on 3g... well I would if I hadn't moved to a solid 4g area around the same time. Love this phone.

I, too, have the original one from launch day. I haven't had signal issues and left it stock for a month or so until the development community had some interesting software to try. After finally unlocking/rooting, I have found the AOKP (open kang) roms are the most stable, offer the most extra features and greatly improve the functionality of an already awesome phone.

[jmorosky]

Same here. I have 4G issues on a daily basis but it isn't enough to make me trade the phone. Big fan.

Best device hands down!
Galaxy Nexus FTW!

I think the device is a fantastic. Only thing that's making me switch is the complete loss of data and voice. I'm on my third device. It's a hardware problem. Not all devices suffer from this. I love how open it is. I'm also rooted running the latest radios and newest 4.0.4. Just like its a 4.65 screen, but only get 4.3 of screen use with the on screen keys. I'm not complaining or whining, but for me, the device can not do its basic function. To make phone calls. I'm dropping data multiple times throughout the day. I'm in a STRONG 3G area. Next to by tbolt, DB on the nexus is 93-100. Tbolt db is 73. Samsung gimped the device with horrid radios and camera. This is my opinion and my experience with the device. I shouldn't have to reboot or wait 10 or more minutes for the data/voice to return.

Got mine in February, i was well aware of the 'issues" it had. i did experience some connectivity issues at work (not great 4g, but had 4g on my thunderbolt, 3g mostly on nexus)
however, i went into this phone KNOWING i was going to Root and ROM it. its just what i do. and i have nothing but GREAT things to say about this Phone. i absolutely LOVE it. and even after the HTC One phones, and the SGS3 announcement, i am still extremely happy with the phone and wont even consider selling it.

[habanophile]

I couldn't have asked for a better entry to the smartphone world. It has no weakness that I can see for my purposes. I even like the camera. Clearly the best, most well rounded phone on the market. SIII ShmesIII.

This last weekend my GNex saved me a lot of headache. I had a gig in St. Paul, MN..it gets confusing round there..never been to this place. Punch in the address to Maps, bam, gets me there through construction and everything. Then I forgot my wallet at home (Fargo, ND). Bam, used Wallet to get me some McD's. All in all, just saying thank you to my phone. I know it will appreciate this post

Loved my phone in Chicago.

Was on the phone while navigating at the same time. Then listened to internet radio while navigating.

On foot, maps allowed me to navigate the best bus routes, told me which bus was coming next. I was then able to triangulate my position so I could see where my stop was.

Used maps to find the closest pizza joint. While waiting for my deep dish pizza, I was able to edit and post all my chicago photos. Which included panoramic photos

Tethered priceline to score $77/night at the downtown for star Hyatt and found an external parking lot for $26/night.

Or I coulda not had a smart phone. Or one not as nice.

I'm on my second device and minus the occasional random reboot it's been tremendous as far as data connectivity and voice quality and the battery life is what i expected going in. It's nice to see a thread on here without people complaining or saying they are giving up on the phone. I almost stopped frequenting the site because of the countless threads containing complaints.

Are you using an extended battery? Also what kernel are you using?

I think google should only make the gnex. So we can get a better experience using all of the apps on the market. Other devices slow us down.

Okay, I have done my share of ing about the lack of accessories and expected (not promised) more updates. But today I was faced with an employee that broke his thunder bolt. Normally I would give him my phone and go get the next hot phone. I couldn't think of a phone I wanted. He asked for a gnex like mine, I bought him another thunderbolt.

why should anyone be impressed with that? You obviously barley use the phone...

Exactly, I mean is that a phone that has been sitting on the dresser ALL day while you worked your 12 hour shift or what!

Stock battery, kernal 3.0.8-gaaa2611

@almath and beyond fire - way to be jerks, why can't you just be happy that I have a phone that is functioning well. Maybe I should have said "...to show how awesome this phone is" so it didn't sound like I was bragging how amazing I am, cause I wasn't. My phone had regular usage for me, a couple calls, a few texts, playing with some widgets and settings is about all I usually do. When I first got the phone it lasted 14hrs with 30% left then after screwing around with too many apps I was lucky to get 6hrs. A factory reset and its like brand new, I was just really excited it was working so well so I thought I would post to this thread because I've been one to whine about my GN before.

Two Words........ Development Community

The devs allow this phone to be truly awesome. I have never seen anything like it. ROMS, themes, mods and all the extra cool stuff that is around for this phone.
I have never been able to make a phone "mine" like i have been able to with this device.
Loving My Nexus, greatest phone i have ever had or seen.

[jaguar10301]

Same here.

I am on my second, stepped on my first one, my wife has one, NO PROBLEMS AT ALL.

That's 3 for 3.

Bye galaxy nexus!

I used to love this device when I was at home laid off. But now that I have to travel and move around a ton more. I've found it to be unreliable... Even with root and Franco kernel tweaks this device struggles to perform for on the go use... It's my own fault. I should have tested it a lot more before choosing this as my main device. So now I have to sell it. I was a HUGE android supporter, but now I have to consider totally switching to ios. Ugh! Please google start putting hardware requirements on all high end devices. So we don't feel the need to upgrade every 6months.
