All of these smart phone extras are great on the Nexus, but will this upgrade improve the phone performance??? Of all of the cell phones I have ever had, the Nexus has more phone problems than all of the others combined. The main purpose of this little device is to have a cell phone…and at this point, the Galaxy Nexus is no cell phone. Even in good coverage areas, this phone gets poor reception and drops calls like crazy.

The most ridiculous thing I saw was two moms at Disneyland trying to video the parade with iPads. Really? You can afford a $600 iPad, but you can’t afford a $150 Flip to take video on?

Support Bluetooth voice dialing or commands. Least we forget the TRUE HANDS FREE calling…”SAY A COMMAND” I see no mention of that feature..and with the ever changing State laws , – As more state and local areas pass laws mandating hands-free driving, such capability will only grow more important
Example: You issue a command from your BT but do you hear voice prompts come from the phone speaker or through the BT headset speaker? after the prompt Do you issue commands through your BT headset or to your phones mic?.If your phone is in your office 20 feet away and you want to send a call can you without having to listen to your phone,view it,touch it and can you go back and cancel and follow through command options to make your call.all through your BT Headset
1 Regular voice dialing through bluetooth is a resolved issue, at least from Google’s perspective, because it is included in Froyo via the separate application “Bluetooth Voice Dialer”2 Voice command is designed for complete hands free. Voice command prompts you for option 1 or option 2 verbally for you to select. It can go back and cancel and follow through command options. through your BT Headset Only.

what is very important and needs to be noted is that the API functions used for voice recognition over bluetooth are not public APIs. I do not know why Google has yet to add these APIs to the public code, but for now, it is technically impossible to incorporate voice recognition over bluetooth, even with the standard voice search activity.

Example…I have an old moto razrV3 , Lg voyager ,works with any BT, press button on BT, HEAR “say a command”..no need to touch Phone, I am aware of google”s voice dialer, voice actions and search

Sorry for the long post, just wanted to mention what I thought were some of the short-comings of HANDS FREE BT… on android os.
Remember some of the older “Dumb-Phones” where BT was implemented and using a BT Headset ONLY, worked and had options. without having to look, touch or listen to your phone .Compared with todays “smartphones” where we have updates and third party apps to make things work..
I love my OG and Android Os.,things are getting better but should of started with the OG.

While the dangers of texting while driving are clear does the Gnex , razr or the D4 support True Hands Free calling over Bluetooth??

I know the new ICS launcher allows you to put any apps/shortcuts/folders you want in the 4 slots on either side of the app tray, but does it allow you to use custom icons like Launcher Pro or other 3rd party launchers? I’m not quite sure that I like the look of the stock icons they use for phone, browser, sms, etc; they are a bit cartoony looking to me.

All hand jokes aside, I’m actually interested in this. My hands seem to be the same size as Kellex’s and I often use my phone with only one hand while carrying my laptop or documents in the other when going to meetings. Thanks!
