Another weakness I noticed is that the default alarm tones are a little on the soft side..

try ES file manager

Exactly my point, they are getting desprate, and I just checked diredtd's post after I post the short review.
But nevermind, I can spare a few hundred on this phone, it's worth it
Before anyone asked, I bought 6 inch screen protector and cut to my liking for my Gnex, and ordered from carrymobile 2 leather melkco pouch.
Carry mobile do delivers, experience from my HTC Rhyme melkco pouch, which I'm using now to post in LYN
.
Forgot to mention My HTC Rhyme, the latest slimmest from HTC. Other then fashion statement, it's practicly useless.
If you are even remotely thinking of Rhyme, buy a Desire S, it has more userbase, more option for everything (root, rom, mods)
If all these is not in your consideration, I seriously do not know why would you wamt to tryput android~ seriously.

It's 11.10 now. Similar activities as previous two days. 17% battery left.

The key is small spurts of screen-on time. You want gorgeous screen, you got to pay with battery life.

That's why there's audio notification and home button notification. You only turn on the screen when you need to check things on your GNex.

Also just had another of that font/text glitch I previously mentioned. I had 2 games left on multitasking, then tried opening Kindle app. Screen hung for a while but the three soft buttons still works. Rebooted manually with the power button, and the glitch appears. Changed the font to small and large, the glitch partially corrects itself, but text on widgets still messed up. Turned off phone. Removed sim card. Rebooted without sim card. Glitch went away. Turned off phone, put sim back on. Turned airplane mode in case it's the network problem again was messing it up just like previous case. Turned network back on, then only everything become normal.

Plz forgive my spelling mistake, I'm drunk at the moment, almost out~
Some points for Rhyme thou, battery life better then S2 non g, and Gnex.
But my heart is all out for Gnex, don't get me wrong there.

o.O, you got his shop buy or they send yo your house ??
coz a lot people complain his service is bad
quite LC

but your post is 11.20pm @@

To his shop, LC nevermind, as long as he delivers.

Are you looking for a harsh response with that snide remark of yours? Typing while inside the LRT train, waiting to get a decent signal before I can post that post.

Your review justify my experience that the battery wont last long...
By the wway the GNex had restarted by itself.... for the first time due the bad signal ... i guess they havent really fixed the problem of low telcos signal ....

The good thing of battery problem here ... is I do believe the promotion for an official launching of GNex by SEP here will come with an extra free battery just like in Taiwan....

hmm, how do you know its due to bad signal?

Because once it restarted ... I received the sms notification for a missed call ... I believe I wasnt aware that the signal was bad only after the sms notification .... when the call was directly sent to my voice mail even when my phone was still on ... by verifying the time of missed call ...

yaya and warranty by them

lol how i know u typing in lrt train without get signal @@

I have this principle I follow. If I don't know anything, or am not sure of how to address something, I simply shut my trap. Unless I have anything concrete, worthwhile sharing, or further progresses a discussion, I'd rather not say anything. Maybe you should too? Just sayin'.

You'd be annoyed too if I start ASSUMING things on you when you're actually something else, wouldn't you? From the quality and contents of your posts, I'd like to assume certain things about you, but I follow my previously mentioned rule and not say anything until I'm sure that assumption holds water.

What kind of microUSB is Gnex using? similar to S2?

Hmm, some stuttering still present in GNex when I use live wallpapers + create folders and try to enter/exit the app drawer/move stuff around.. a little disappointing, I have to admit

Micro B. Some micro USB cables have their pins 1 and 5 not extended enough to allow these pins to deliver power charging, while pins 3,4,5 are extended to allow data transfer. You'll have to look at these cables thoroughly so see that the lengths of the pins inside are not uniform.

it is a known fact that live wallpaper causes lag in GNex...it could be because LWP aren't optimized for ICS

Huh, I thought this kind of problem was gone with the introduction of ice cream sandwich & galaxy nexus

Anyone care to elaborate/share your experience on this matter?....

The download live wallpaper OR the pre-installed live wallpaper OR both.?? o_O

Nvm, I would foresee that this will be less, as those places that I went, has weak 3G signal, but strong H+ for UMobile. So it's not that bad after all when I get a phone that supports HSPA+.

Added on December 11, 2011, 3:24 amIt's a common thing.

Phone lags a bit when start to sync, and it lags like hell when your signal is bad.

Added on December 11, 2011, 3:26 amIt's wasn't that bad on S2, if it's not noticeable at all.
