RANT: Nexus "the developers phone" and updates argument

[pauldroidr2d2]

Well if it is in Wikipedia, it must be true. It is not like just anyone can edit Wikipedia. *snickers*

You could check the references at the bottom of the page.

Sure if by developer phone you mean a phone that doesn't actually work as a phone. IOW, a phone that actually works as a phone is one in which you can actually hear what the other person is saying and they can hear what you are saying reliably and there is no crackling/popping/screeching and dropped calls are infrequent.

Clearly you aren't genuinely interested in a response. You are looking to B&M.

Your phone doesn't work. So return it or exchange it for a different phone.

Here you go. Explain to me which one is adequate to explain that a "developer phone" is a phrase that indicates that the GNex should not actually work as a phone?

If you are interested in learning more about it, you check the references. But, there don't expect others to do it for you.

Based off of your recent responses I don't think you are interested. Nobody ever said that a developer phone shouldn't work as a phone. Your replacement phone works as a phone does it not?

Why are Nexus phones the only Android phones that developer tools included in them?

I already did that, dude. And it works fine EXCEPT when switching between 3G and 4G. And then the screeching issue, which I haven't yet figured out. And the stalled MMS.

All I want is a GNex that works. It doesn't help my situation for those of you who are Google/Samsung/VZW apologists to try to deny that those of us who have problems have them. Why do you care? Do you own stock in these companies or something?

 

[Coleus]

Your replacement phone works as a phone does it not?

Sometimes. Other times I have the screeching and dropped calls. And then there is the MMS stalled sending issue. So yes, sometimes it does work as a phone. Other times, not so much.

Okay, so exchange it again! At this point there really is no reason to try and have a discussion with you. All you seem capable of is whining. I don't see anyone denying you have problems. But, no matter the response all you do is complain more.

I may, but the 2 GNexes I have had have had PERFECT screens, which is important to me. I am afraid if I exchange it again I may get one with the banding issue.

What is your purpose here? You don't seem at all interested in discussion, just bashing and refusing to learn. Whether its a developer phone is irrelevant to if it functions as a phone. You're making a connection that isn't there in order to bash the phone.

Don't be so rude. Oh and read 35 USC 102-103 before you make statements about patent law.

Apparently we've run out of things to discuss on this topic that don't involve infighting among GN owners. Thread closed.

And if I see the fighting continue between the same members elsewhere, I will not hesitate to issue infractions and/or temp bans. Get it together.
