I am on my second Nexus and started having issues with it after the 4.2.2 software update. My reception was horrible and the battery life was just as bad with my first nexus. I sometimes work in an area of town that has bad 4g reception so I turn off my wifi, LTE, and bluetooth to try and save my battery however, it does not work. I started experiencing youtube not working and 5-6 random reboots in the last two weeks. So today I called Verizon and explained the issues I was having. I told the Tier 2 tech support person the troubleshooting steps that I had taken. (Thanks to Android Central). He said that what I did was all he could do for me and thanked me for doing his job. So I asked him to just replace the phone with something else. I told him I understand that I must be sent 3 of the same phones but I seriously doubt the issue would be resolved with a 3rd Nexus. So he asked for approval to swap phones. First offer was a Samsung Galaxy Stellar. I declined that one and the next offer was a Stratosphere. Both phones, though newer, still did not compare to the Nexus. So I said that the phone didnt have to be a Samsung. So he said what about a Motorala Rzr HD. I said that would not be bad but not a big fan of the phone since I had the RZR and really didn't like the feel of it but I would take it. So he said he needed to get an approval. He returns to the phone line and said my supervisor threw me a curve and you can have a Galaxy S3. So they are shipping me out a White S3.
