Re: Galaxy Nexus- First THoughts/ Opinions/Bugs

Autocorrect doesn't work in the browser. The bar above the keyboard just doesn't even show up.

Also, voice typing sucks! Sometimes it uses only address book names and number types. (Like mobile, home, work, etc.)

joseph justin seth <- I said "this is just a test." WTF?

Sounds like a lot of annoying bugs so far. Wonder when the update comes out.

scratch the news and weather widget bug. Solved when I cleared cache and data.

Yeah, I have no autocorrect or capitalization in the browser either.

Autocapitalization works fine for me.

Are you coming from a Droid 1?

Going from the D1 to the X that was the biggest shock for me. Most devices just don't have that good of a vibration.

Not really a bug but I haven't found a way to merge contacts. Any thoughts or possible solutions?

I was just in the Verizon store and played around with the Nexus. The vibration is very weak. Rezound next to it was much better. Same with the speaker. Couldn't find a way to make notification light to light up, but has to be better than Rezound's pinhole sized one. Screen colors very good, but I can see dots, pixels, whatever on white pages. Must be Pentile effect. However, not nearly as annoying a Bionic Pentile effect. Photos looked good on screen and camera snappy like promised. ICS seems awesome. I'm bothered by vibration and speaker, but that may not be enough to stop me from getting this phone. I'd like Rezound if it were vanilla Android.

Where in the settings do you change it?

There was only 4% power remaining on the store display, that spot that they are using in the Midwest City store has been broken for a month now.
And the security device kept pulling the back off.

So I didn't get to play with the GN very long, but I'll give it another try later, got until Jan 9th to decide if I want to keep the Rezound or not.
With my very limited experience so far didn't see a reason to switch yet.
The Rezound shows 3-4 signal bars vs. 0-1 on the GN. Is the Nexus really less sensitive or just a display issue?
I like my big extended battery for the Rezound.
The GN GPS wouldn't lock on.

A work buddy went to buy four today for his family, I'll see what he has to report.
But then he's coming from an old 3G phone.

I've seen this discussed before somewhere. I believe it was intentional on Google's part. It might take a 3rd party app to do that.

Re: Galaxy Nexus- First THoughts/ Opinions/Bugs

I'm looking to purchase this phone but my major concern is with the GPS. I understand Samsung phones have terrible GPSs. Can someone calm my worries about this with the Galaxy Nexus?
