My Nexus Prime issue (still loving it)

[dvirdroid]

hey.
while being on Facebook my Nexus Prime crashed suddenly. I was posting a status and green dots appeared all over the screen and the phone got stuck.
when trying to shut it off it just crashed. when trying to turn it on it didn't turn on until I took the battery out and placed it back in.
Anyone experienced it?

Of course i reported it to google.

Cheers

What is a Nexus Prime?

Best Buy's store brand version.

One of the things people forget is that these are computers. Computers run software. All software has bugs. You've just discovered one.

Yesterday I was driving home listening to a podcast via bluetooth on Ford Sync. Suddenly out of the middle of nowhere I'm listening to the radio, not the podcast. I press on buttons on my Ford stereo. Nothing works. No buttons do anything. The friggin' volume control doesn't even work. I can't change the channel, nothing. It's not my phone, it's the Ford Sync.

I discover I can turn the volume down and change the radio station via the steering wheel controls. I press the sync button and after the prompt say "Phone". It responds that "That feature is not installed."

I wait until I get home. I get out of the car and let it shut down. I get back in the car, start it up and everything is back to normal. Phone works USB works, iPod works, Galaxy Nexus connected to Ford Sync works. This is a 2.5 year old car and this is the first time that this has happened. It appears I found a bug. Probably one I'll never be able to replicate. So, I'll just forget about it and move on.

In summary, these things are all computers. They run software. Software, by definition, has bugs. Don't worry about it. Just reboot and forget about it.

I haven't had Facebook crash, but it is the laggiest, slowest piece of software I have on the damn phone. Drives my bonkers, even on 4G and Wifi. Takes FOREVER to load, and I don't have like 1000 friends or anything (200 or so, I think). Ridiculous.

Theres no such thing as a nexus prime, not even at best buy.

You know that, I know that, but someone forgot to tell Best Buy's marketing department.

Are they still advertising it that way? I haven't seen that.

There were accessories for the Prime; I was riffing on that.

There was a leaked photo online of a best buy add where they called it the prime before its release. Nothing more.

There was another thread last week or so from an in-store display IIRC.
