I am thinking of trading my 4s for a gnex are These signal complaints and battery all that bad? I am a rooter and would throw a jellybean rom on there ASAP just need to know from others romers and rooters are there still many "issues" with the phone reason for Change is I'm just bored with ios
 
Some of us don't have any signal problems, but others do. It seems to be the luck of the draw.

I'm lucky in that I haven't had a lot of issues with my phone; I've had a great experience. Battery life isn't much different from my Droid X.

If you get one and it's problematic, don't hesitate to swap it out for another until you get one that is right.
 
Go for it man. ICS was awesome. Jellybean is better than awesome. I haven't had an issue with signal or battery life at all. Once you root you're good. There's a lot of development out there for the nexus. The nexus is purely awesome although I'm looking with licking lips at the S3

I wouldn't trade my trinity-powered, Jelly-Bean consuming GN for the world at the moment.

Not sure if that helps though...:)
 
Welcome to a whole new wonderful world. Majority of owners don't have a problem. You just don't hear from us. Unlike your former device, this one has a removable battery. I carry a spare and never measurebate about battery life.

BadaBing! You got a bunch of answers right away. I just replied to the thread and there wasn't anything here. Its a nice phone. Excellent device. I was gonna buy the extended battery for myself and my wife but after a good rom and kernel. It just wasn't a justified expense.

I would suggest to ask the person you are trading for to check and see if it was made in Korea. I've noticed that the devices made in Korea are acting much better than the ones made in, I think China. The Nexus and JB will blow you away

As far as country of origin goes, I've had the same experience. And ditto on that last statement.

The Nexus I have has a better signal then the Razr MAXX it replaced. Its a luck of the draw really. If the battery is an issue carry a charger. I had an Iphoe 4,, the only thing I really miss is the headphone controls on the headphone aren't supported very well on all Android devices. They do work almost as well on the Nexus. You just can't control the volume from the headphone.
 
BT headphones should work fine; the Apple centric headphones don't and some phone manufacturers i.e. Motorola wont allow any button to work
