Amongst all the issues people have been having, I only have one: I can't put it down! This is more of my vision of a perfect tab, one that could replace your pc for many uses. Older android tabs couldn't do that very much because they were much too laggy. This tablet is fast and i'm loving jelly bean. Really like the new ui for the most part, if the launcher and lock screen would rotate it would be perfect. I originally complained when it didn't have the honeycomb ui, but after using that on my flyer for 6 months I can't say I miss it. Definitely don't miss bumping the back button when I type something nor do I miss how cluttered the action bar was, or how the stupid action bar never hid even when watching movies.
Also love how light it is and easy to hold, and the grippy material is nice too

Yup, I love mine too, can't put it down! Just an amazing device.

agreed. this thing is awesome. i brought it into my lab and just holding it convinced one of the other guys to get it.
This device is really goooooood. I'm very happy with mine and I love how it runs everything I throw at it.
Play with voice-to-text and text-to-voice also.
Both are amazing on this device.
Nexus 7-Too Cool!!
Everything is so smooth on this. It's like a beast! Perfect partner for my SIII. Twin beasts!
Yeah it's crazy fast. I only wish they would of found a way to include haptic feedback. It's not a big deal, just a bit weird that's all lol.

I agree with you guys.This thing is much better than I expected.I have had no issues at all with mine.It does everything I need it to do very well.
I am so glad I preordered before all these threads showed up with so many complaints.I doubt if I would have purchased one otherwise and missed out on a great little tablet. Those one the fence thinKing about an N7 don't let all the complaints scare you off.You will be missing out if you do.:good:
My only complaint has nothing to do with the Nexus7 but with the slow process of apps updating for use with jelly bean.I guess that has always been the case with andriod but hopefully things will get better.
Honestly a week before i/o I was thinking about selling my flyer and pre ordering a nexus assuming the rumors were true. But then I decided to wait for it to be official, then all the complaints had me thinking it was best to wait. However it got to the point with my flyer that I was so fed up with lag I stopped using it and after a week I decided to sell the flyer. Wish I had just gone for it from the beginning, would of been able to nearly get all my money back on flyer as I only paid $200 originally, but I waited and only got a dismal $125.
I do honestly believe now that it looks worse than it is. Hardly anyone gets on here to praise the tablet but you see 20 threads with people having issues you immediately think there are more bad ones than good ones,

NO!...... it doesn't. It outright sucks balls.
Haven't you seen the posts? 28 XDA members out of projected 3 million sold say it sucks. Dont buy one or if you did, refuse shipment then express a cry baby attitude here.
mine came today and i have to say its far faster than i thought it would be. it is easily faster than the ipad i find for web browsing etc.
the cherry on top would have been the sd card slot. but then it would become unstoppable.

I have an original Asus Transformer, and I'll tell ya, after the initial love of it, I barely ended up using it. It was just too big, too heavy, and too slow. I picked up a nexus and it remedies all of these problems.... the buttery smoothness of it is exceptionally enticing. I have a feeling I'm going to use my Nexus way, way more than my TF.
LOVE this thing.
I agree. I didn't think I would like the Nexus as much as I do, I LOVE it. The smaller form factor is actually really nice and it feels better in hand then my TF101.
Few days before I get my hands on my Nexus 7 and you guys are already making me far too excited for it!!
Love it
Had a Acer A500 for the last year but since I got this Nexus i cant put it down. I had the screen separation issue but the replacement from game stop is perfect. It is more portable, lighter, faster, etc. Movies,books,web,Skype,VoIP calling, texting, and games I use this thing like 8 hours a day.
Even when the 10' comes out I will stick to the 7.
I wish it had a nice rear camera and a micro slot but whatever.

I sold my original Asus transformer because of the same reasons. As with a lot of people posting here,I cannot put this device down ! Im able to finish reading a book without having hand cramps when holding the 10.1 inch transformer. Of course you lose the big screen, but the n7 is much clearer and sharper IMO.

Anyone else really happy they got the nexus 4 instead of S4 or ONE ?
Pure android aside'.
I'm saying this cause all the issues & what not that the S4 & ONE seem to be having.
Just noticing a lot of issues with both!
Neither have lived up to all the hype about them!
I wanted the one . but didn't want to wait so i got the N4 ...
Note that I have held the one in my hands , it's a nice phone, its aluminum . but just seems cheap. Not nearly as cool or nice as what 'I' expected.

I've always wanted a nexus because of it being pure Google Android. I'm happy I finally got one. I love the phone.
It's kind of early to say the one and s4 have "a lot" of issues. The s4 from at&t has an unlockable bootloader, that's a bummer but not a shocker. It was said to be locked before it was released. I haven't heard of issues with the one. But that's just me.
Every phone has its "issues". It really boils down to if you personally like the hardware, looks, and software

I do like my Nexus 4 but in my case its all about updates and support. Here in Brazil its common to NEVER receive updates. When the updates are supposed to be released the brand already have another new phone that they want you to buy instead of just update your phone.
Most of the people here does not even know what a Nexus is. When people asks me about my phone is funny because when I say "Nexus 4" I can see the "wtf is that" face.

Lol nice.. I littery just realized last night I'm not happy with any other phone.. I played with a bunch of androids , iPhones, windows phones yesterday .
They had cool features . some have a cool design. But for me that's as far as it went. I was bored within 5min of each.
I know I won't have the whole 'experience' within 5min . but that's all it took for me.

Happy with the Nexus. I've learned that I don't need gimmicky features which add no real value.
Nexus is fast, reliable and free of bloatware,
It's at the cutting edge of software thanks to updates direct from Google and it's the basis for custom ROM development.
Those were my main reasons for choosing it.
Maybe for average people the S4 or One would be a better fit, they are more practical in some ways such as having more storage and battery life. Samsung's and HTC's software does add value for some people but not for me, I just see gimmicks and stuff made to look pretty.
Samsung's smart pause and smart stay are cool innovations though.
The S4 and One are almost twice the price of a Nexus 4, but are they twice as good? Absolutely not. The Nexus 4 has more than enough power for most people, and you won't have to worry about whether the manufacturer will abandon it to focus on other devices.
The storage capacity is a bit of a bummer, but if you're clever, you'll find a way around it. I built a little server to house my music collection and use Subsonic to stream it. Other people I've seen use online music services or Internet radio. People are always coming up with new solutions in the Nexus community, and that's what I love about it - we've got a lot of bright minds here! :laugh:
Not that the other devices don't have their fair share of good developers, but Nexus devices are meant to foster experimentation.
Right after only having my lg g flex for 3 days I have to sell it. Just can't be dealing with the graininess of the screen it's just so bad when you come from a phone such as the nexus it's FHD screen to this one. Its such a shame because the phone is utterly amazing.

Haven't got rid of it yet but the screen doesn't burn in like the first one I had did. It is a rev 1.0 as well so it shouldn't have the grain in issue. Is it a Rom issue or is twit the LCD cause if it's the Rom then I will need to flash something else

I have read some say it can be fixed somewhat with firmware but I believe it is mostly screen hardware issue.
so where or what phone elements are grainy? had my phone for months and cant tell
i am about to say bye to the flex also. the day the nexus x drops, im paying off my phone and buying it. oh how i miss vanilla android and cyanogenmod...... it has nothing to do with the phone,the phone is perfect,but, developement is really slow due to locked down bootloaders,. but whatever. im just about over it. this phone would have been very very awesome with a working cm rom. so if i also dont get the chance to say it, bye flex world.
Said goodbye to my g flex last night. Traded it to a coworker for the Nexus 5.
Went from a phone with barely any development to a great Dev phone. Although I did really like the G flex. The not being able to flash ROMs like a madman was killing it. So good luck to the community here and thanks to the devs that did work and attempt. :beer:

How do you cope with the significant drop in battery life doesn't that bother you a little bit? You have basically gone from best to worst in that regard =)
I've had a Nexus 5 a while ago. It's an awesome device because of the development. But I have other priorities today like battery life which I hold higher than anything else after a few years with Andriod.

Haven't had it but 24 hours lol. Battery life isn't that big a deal for me. I'm happy with the Nexus so far. Also it works better for me being able to keep it in my pocket at work and not feel like I'm going to snap it, working in machinery all night.
Having Android L, multirom, newest P.A and any other ROM also make it a much better choice. Looking into getting an extended battery for it also.

Took mine back 3 days after buying it. Coming from a lg g2 the screen clairity was something i couldn't deal with. When i was setting up the phone the games i redownloaded mostly gameloft games looked like sh÷t and the camera was not as good as the lg g2. Took that phone back and got a note 3 love it. Hopefully lg get the next version right because this phone could have been great. To be a big phone it feels perfect in the hands compared to the note 3. Enjoy the nexus 5 its a good phone.

I already pre-ordered mine. Main reason is I don't think I can stand the S6 lag anymore. Latest OTA "fixed" it but not completely. Samsung, you were so close to making the perfect phone. So close....
I'm seriously considering getting one too, I'm tired of the ****ty battery life, will try getting an exchange from T-mobile and if the new S6 (probably refurb) still has battery issues I'll get a 5X. My main concern is that I have a 64gb S6.
Battery life will be better but not great and that's coming from the lead designer of the new nexus phones. I still enjoy my s6 even though it's stock. Maybe next year I'll switch to a nexus phone

The Snapdragon 810 in the Nexus 6p SOC is not a good alternative. Slower, hotter and I guess therefor eating up more battery.
Camera wise, LG G4 and S6 are still king imo. (here are some shots - best case scenario-: http://www.theverge.com/2015/9/29/9417599/nexus-5x-6p-camera-photos-images)
While I would love to buy another nexus, I have to pass this one and wait for next year, as it is way too expensive imo.
Be warned! No band 12 support (at least initially) with the new nexus phones. T-mobile won't let unlocked phones use band 12 unless they become VoLTE certified.

A couple things I'm hopeful for. 1, the 810 is ver 2.1 so it should fix those issues. 2, the camera has been rated and did extremely well. http://www.androidauthority.com/nexus-6p-second-best-mobile-camera-645771/
Back to the Snapdragon 810 vs our phones. I'm so disappointed with what Samsung has done to this fantastic hardware with their crappy software. My phone lags, stutters. My old HTC M8 is lightning fast compared. So specs are great and all...(dont misinterpret my frustration, its solely towards Samsung)
Just wish we could get a vanilla based rom for the s6. :/ lol

I've been trying to figure this out... I chatted with T-Mobile but still don't really have a clear answer. I currently run on Band 4 on my Nexus 6 (which I love BTW) and my S6. Where I'm at, Columbus, Ohio, there is not support for Band 12. If/when Band 12 is activated here, will I then lose the ability to access LTE via Band 4? Or would Band 12 just simply be added in addition to Band 4?
This is the only reason I am debating on canceling my pre-order for the Nexus 6P... For those wanting a direct comparison of an N6 vs S6... I'll keep it short and sweet, the N6 blows away the S6 in every aspect except camera and fingerprint reader... The fact that the 6P has a significantly improved camera, and a fingerprint reader, it was a no brainer for me. The N6 has SOOO much support on XDA, endless options, constantly getting updates, doesn't have the super annoying poor ram management of the Galaxy lineup, I could go on and on. I'm still going to hold onto my S6 and sell my N6 and OPO for the 6P. I think once Chase is added to Samsung Pay that may drive me back to the S6... but as I flip back and forth between my N6 and S6, I find myself constantly going back to the N6 for longer periods of time.
I'd have a 6 already if not for the size. I can't wait to actually sacrifice this 6S to a hammer and get something else. The holy grail would be the Sony Z5, but it's unlikely to make it here. I'm very disappointed the 6P/5X don't have wireless charging though. Push comes to shove though, the 5X might be the way to go.

It would be added in addition to band 4. The only issue I have is in my house band 12 is always a stronger signal but it doesn't have the fastest bandwith. So I might get a faster download speed with band 4 even though it has a week er signal. I can manually change to band 4 with my s6 by using the code *#2263#

It's odd because I get usually full LTE signal inside my home, but my speeds are usually unbearable. I've chatted with t force on this too.. They've done some things that occasionally make it better, like 5mbps, but its usually .5 mbps or less.

Have you tried using the Play Store to browse anything whatsoever? Holy s**t is it laggy and jittery. I'm on the latest version, and it's still a jittery mess. Also selecting a text from the notification shade takes 5-10 seconds to open Hangouts. Those are the two big ones for me. That and the constantly restarting apps even when they've been hanging out in RAM draining battery. WTF? One example: Chrome can hangout running in the background draining my battery like a champ, but if I switch back to it, it reloads...every...single...tab. Grrrr!
Just curious to see if anyone is making the jump now that the new nexus' have been released for pre-order. If so what was your main reason? Easy root? More development? Hardware? Software? And if not are you staying with Samsung after the lock down they put on there phones? I myself have owned several nexus phones before and they have always been great, my only issue is there is always some hardware spec I'm missing, usually the camera. Right now with this variation I feel the 5.7 inch screen is a little much for me and know ois for the camera on the nexus p and the nexus x is the right size but way to underwhelming as far as specs go.

Yeah man after having several nexus devices I switched to the lg g3 then this and I miss the development possible with the nexus. I don't know if anyone from the att forums ever pops in on a nexus development thread but it's a virtual playground of new roms, kernels, and useful mods. Don't get me wrong I'm appreciative of anyone putting in work on the att variants, it's just nowhere near the support a nexus gets! If they would just come out with a soild camera and the premium specs the 6p has, I would've preordered also

I'm getting swayed myself. My notifications, device wake don't work unless with CM locker and then it's still not consistent. Then there are the gremlins here and there but there are some that really bothers me.
Plus I'm tired of my Nexus friends getting the new upgrades all the time.
I know how you feel, especially considering if I had a nexus right now I would have the marshmallow update already. Unfortunately I'm still stuck on 5.0.2 because I don't wanna lose root! By the time we see marshmallow it'll be on the SGS7! I sweat if tmobile gets it together with a consistent lte signal Im done done done with AT&T

Samsung makes very nice phones but i really want more flexibility. I have already ordered a Nexus 6P and i hope i am going to like it. I am only worried because it is bigger than my edge.
If its your first nexus you will love it, theres almost too much flexibility! Youll find yourself messing with everything lol. The only thing is you dont get the gimmicky stuff as much as you do with manufacturers like samsung and htc. Some people miss that. The size difference, thats another story and partially why I have held off until I can hold one and see in hand the difference. I had the LG G3 and that is about as big as I think I can comfortably go with a phone.
Last time i had a samsung was the note 2.. i hated that phone so much i traded it for a optimus g pro. loved that phone still have it today. i swore i wouldn't go back to samsung. then the s6 appeared. 64 bit cpu exynos was destroying the benchmarks. smaller more efficient cpu manufacturing, awesome screen, glass, metal. smaller more efficient battery and finally tw had less bloat.damn made me change my mind. i had to pre order....... i have hated this phone since month 3 of owning. i hate this samsung. cant wait to get rid of it. i gave my htc m8 for this crap. m8 never lagged like this pos and battery was better. and the phone seemed faster idk how or why. samsung made me hate samsung. so yeah im getting a nexus just can't decide which. waiting on the reviews. not making the same mistake of pre ordering
Yeah man I know, that's why I skipped the s5. I've owned the sgs2, Samsung galaxy nexus, Sgs3, and sgs4. I got in on the sgs4 while there was still a bootloader exploit, however once i saw they locked it down in a way where the later versions could only use safestrap I was like, no way will I ever come back to Sammy. Skipped the sgs5 and went with the LG G3 but was lured back by the specs on this phone!! Samsung always has the hardware I want in a phone, best cpu, great screen, good camera, couple cool little gimmicks to play with... but this allowing manufacturers to lock down bootloader and essentially kill the dev scene is really pissing me off. I have always bought my wife HTC phones when I upgrade because I can never decide between 2 phones, her m8 still running as smooth as day she got it, I didn't even unlock and rom it like I usually do. I just cannot find the perfect storm of cutting edge specs that I want and development to go with. Sucks!!!

The reasons I like Samsung phones is their hardware. Great camera, screens, better memory configurations, and lately the design of the phone. If all that was put into the nexus then it'd be an easy decision. Unfortunately the nexus lacks that. Idk what my next phone is going to be after this debacle.
