Anyone waiting for nexus 5 while skipping N4, Sony Z, HTC one, S4 and anything else i

Taking about GN being a great phone with great Dev support. I am finding my self skipping two generations of android phone with out any regrets, namely s3 now to be s4, and nexus 4.
Anyone waiting for the Nexus5 before thinking about upgrading?

Let's wait for my phone to break, don't have the money to keep buying new phones.
If KLP lags on the gnex, i'm going back to ICS..

Me waiting for the next Nexus too. Currently I don't want to change, because I am more than happy with that

seriously? ICS was laggy as hell.
It depends on a screen size (and free funds to spend of course ). If the screen size is 5" or bigger I will consider N4 of HTC One.

I hope the next nexus will be from HTC. Their build quality never disappoints. But for now I'll stick to my gnex..

Never getting anything but nexus devices when it comes to android. I also skipped the nexus 4, imo upgrade wasn't worth it.

And anyways, whatever new features are announced in KLP will be made for the next nexus in mind.

I am, however will depend if it comes to sprint. Have a great employee discount can't switch carriers

Probably going to switch to the one this summer.
Really liking the design of that phone. The s4 just seems way too big for me and I would rather have a longer phone than a wider phone

Here here....current galaxy nexus owner and future nexus owner. I have a sprint gnex and a nexus 7 and I hope sprint gets the 5. My wife has an I pad and an iPhone 5. Swear not because I own android but I think as far as development and hacking go, apple doesn't come close

My upgrade is in September so I still have some time to go. If Google comes out with a vastly improved nexus without a recycled design from another device. By vastly improved I'm talking about Camera quality, LTE, full HD screen and battery life. Sure I'll go for the nexus 5 but if they don't improve all those than I'm going to contemplate jumping ship.

Hmmmm...Nexus 5. If you'll note, the current nexus lineup are all named according to the display size. For Google to add a 4th nexus device to the lineup is unlikely (to much to manage), so the best guess is a refresh of the nexus 4, possibly by another manufacturer, and probably later in the year. What we can expect for I/O is a refresh on the nexus 7 (with the same name), and possibly a non-nexus device from Motorola that runs stock Android.

I think we could expect a new phone as well. Considering that key lime pie is a major update, there is bound to be new features for phones not just tablets. So they will be probably need another device to show off the new features of the new build. I'm doubting they will use a nexus 4 as a demo device, its already fairly old news.

Nexus 4 vs Google Edition of Samsung Galaxy S4

I saw this article yesterday but didn't know if it was true or not. Would you sell/trade you're current Nexus 4 for the Google Edition Samsung Galaxy S4? Will the Samsung Galaxy S4 be the exact same as the Nexus from a software perspective since it's pure Android?
I'm not a big fan of the Samsung build quality (ie plastic) but know there are a lot of nexus 4 owners that would like 32GB and a removable battery.

It doesn't matter if it's true or not. The Galaxy S4 supports AOSP. Those who want AOSP know what to do. That's just how I see it.

If it's unlocked and reasonably priced (maybe... like $400 for a 16gb model) I would absolutely jump ship for the S4. To me, a changeable battery and microSD card are killer features.
However, I don't anticipate it being much cheaper than a standard unlocked S4, so I probably won't be buying it.

Just wait for Google IO and see what is released

I miss my 32gbs of storage, however, I love the feel of my nexus....don't think I can go back to plastics. My batter lasts me all day even with heavy use believe it or not. I can't lie though sometimes it's close but it always comes through.

Oh god, please, just NO PLASTIC FOR GODS' SAKE.
I personally don't care which company makes the next Nexus, I just hope that it's not cheap plastic.

Well, not sure what to think of a google s4 version priced at $649 available at the google playstore soon.
If it becomes successful, that would definitely have a negative effect on the cheaper nexus devices.

Google I/O confirms this.
June 26, $649, 16GB only, ATT/TMobile with LTE support.

It's official just heard it on Google I/O 2013, 16GB with expandable storage, LTE, unlocked bootloader (works on AT&T and T-Mobile) and updates from Google for $649 on Google Play starting late June 26th. So who is getting it?
Seems rather pricey to me but I know people will buy it.

It's probably nice news for people who have a galaxy S4 on T mobile or att. Updates are almost guaranteed, as was the case with gs1 and nexus s.

They priced it high to increase the attractiveness of their TouchWiz S4. It's basic marketing strategies =)
Their goal is to obviously get people to use and be entrenched in the Touchwiz ecosystem.

Stupid insurance!

Well I cracked the rear of my nexus 4, not sure how but a crack appeared. I sent it to my insurance who accepted the claim, but are trying to fob me off with a S3 as a replacement. Even though the S3 is alot older than the Nexus they seem to think its the same specfications. Annoying

What kind of insurance are you talking about? Insurance through a carrier, third party insurance like Square Trade, or something like renter's insurance? Whichever it is, it seems pretty dodgy. My experience with insurance providers is that they can do/not do whatever they feel like. If it isn't something huge like a house or a car, I don't usually buy insurance for just that reason.

My bank provides me phone insurance through aviva

If they can't replace it, then they should simply cut you a check to buy it again (minus the deduction). The S4 is more similar then the S3.
Tell them you want an S4 or $350.
The S3 is similar to the Galaxy Nexus (last gen).
I love the Nexus Line, but with the S4 being AOSP now, I wouldn't mind picking up the S4.

that's why SquareTrade is awesome...and only it's $6 a month

AT&T to replace water damaged S4 Actives

Lucky bastard.
I bought an Active on 8/9, and by 8/13 I was in an AT&T store replacing it with a new Active. That Active only lasted until 8/16. Worst part was that I was on vacation the whole time and unable to use my phone during a 17 hour drive home from Florida. The memory card still works but I'm done with Samsung's poor quality control. This isn't the first poorly made Samsung I've owned or had issues with, but it will be my last.

nice article. I like and get information to this post. keep it up.:good:

I am wondering if the one time replacement is a new phone or a refurbished phone? Has anyone tried this out yet?

Just because this phone isn't popular doesn't mean Samsung won't update it. Hell they send updates out for the rugby and the other oddball Samsung phones that att has. I am thinking we will at least get 4.3 when the original s4 does which is slated for next month.

sure but my point is why worry about something that doesn't have an available update yet? Usually leaks happen before updates are even released OTA. I would wait until we have a 4.3 update to see if we can get it somehow or if there is an odin flash or what. I am sure we will have a way soon... just hold on you may not be able to upgrade the MF3 but probably other releases.

Samsung's official statement on the matter says that
"Samsung designed and tested the Galaxy S 4 Active to adhere to IP67 standards for water resistance (1 meter for 30 minutes). If your Galaxy S 4 Active has been damaged due to water exposure, bring it back to an AT&T retail store as soon as possible for a one-time exchange for another Galaxy S 4 Active."

If you could trade your N3 for any device???

Hi opinions please what device would you trade your N3 and why. Keeping developer support also in mind. Thx in advanced

I have an upgrade on my account and i cant see trading it in for any current offerings. However i am considering getting the Hisense x1 although i am torn between trading in better specs for more screen.

The touchscreen system inside a Tesla, but that'll never happen.
I'd do a yotaphone when it comes out. I'd trade it now for a Xperia Z ultra or Z2

This.
I'd also trade for a new AR15. Hey, it's a "device". You didn't say it had to be a cellular device.

I'd pick a T-Mo Note3.
Nothing has come out in recent months that's made me wish I had something else - I just wish we had an unlocked bootloader like T-Mo people.
The OLED screen is IMO a must-have, I really think they look better than LCDs - and of course, it's gotta be full HD, and >5 inches. That right there cuts out most of the options!
And it's gotta have a micro SD card slot as well, otherwise I can't carry my music around (and cloud music doesn't work in subway/etc - not to mention that music is something too important to trust to the cloud).
Only thing I wish it had was IP67 dust+water resistance - and it sounds like that's going to be in Sammy's galaxy line now, based on what we saw with S5 announcement.

I can honestly say there is no other device out there that I would want. My AT&T Note 3 suits me just fine.

Planning to get the new HTC One when it's released, in large part because of the unlocked bootloader and the original was my favorite device other than the N3. I just hated the camera.

The only devices I could settle for outside the Note 3 would be Note 2, GS4, GS4 Active, or GS5. But there is no current device that I would willingly trade for. Note 3 is awesome, and I love Touchwiz.
