4.0.2 does have some issues for sure. I’ve been using leaked stock 4.0.4 for almost 2 months now and it’s rock solid. The only time it reboots is when I turn FoxFi off and on during occasional free tethering. It pretty much fixed everything, although I think the running apps button still needs some tweaking.

You know the problems themselves are probably due to ICS 4.0.2 itself, as much as it is the G Nex’s hardware.
This update should be given emergency treatment by Google/Verizon since it stabilizes the phone. Blame Verizon because this leak is legit and at least 2 months old. The build number is too low in leaked 4.0.4, so I imagine the OTA version will have even more minor bug fixes.

I dont know…

One thing I dont like about my Rezound, thats not even on Sense 4.0. If I wanna set pics I took as the background…I have to crop it a certain way. On my RAZR it just fits on the screen.

If I can just make it fit the screen….its hidden in some setting.

The GNex takes pics while recording as well. I’m sure the One X is nice (sense aside) but I am still totally happy with the Nexus and have no complaints so far. I know two other people that have them and neither of them have had issues.

The Google Reader bottom overflow is an application specific problem. Meaning it will manifest itself on any application that still uses legacy option menus. HTC chose to make it appear above the capacitive buttons. Since Google made their buttons software, it wasn’t a big deal to put it on the right hand side of the other buttons. That definitely was a really stupid decision on HTC’s part.

I feel exactly the same. It’s an incredible device, and just might be the first Android phone I actually keep for a year(I’ve made it 10 months with every other one.)

So much stupid nit picking instead of just reviewing the phone and giving your pros and cons and let the watcher decide if they like Sense 4.0

Him crying about the background is hard to change, really? How often do you change your background? The end is the best part, Sense is more like stock android, but he’s gone away from it because he likes to customize things. So you don’t like Sense because it isn’t stock ICS, but you put a custom launcher on because you don’t like things stock.

Like the other 2 folks said….on screen buttons isnt for everyone. That was my least fav thing about the g nex. They didnt really matter to me.

Menu button in apps….now that was nice.

And I actually miss the hard buttons on my Droid X1.

Only android phone you never had to do a battery pull on..

Give it time. I didnt really have to either….it rebooted before I had to. Rebooted trying to put it on speaker phone once or twice. I take that back. I did have to do a battery pull or reboot: dialer either wouldnt show up or go away on calls.

Not saying it sucks…but its far from perfect. No phone is perfect. My RAZR has got stuck in 3G recently, had to to hard reset on it once or twice cuz the screen froze. About lag…the RAZR and Rezound are nice. If the G Nex has no lag…the RAZR and Rezound arent far behind. Both my phones are stock.

But hey….this isnt about the mighty G Nex…this is about Sense UI 4.0

Thanks.

Verdict: Sense UI is guilty of making a quad core phone look bad. lol Might just be a bad One X tho. Benefit of the doubt n all.

Its the other way around….A Moto phone would help in that case…

I also have a Rezound, 2nd one…..and my RAZR does better where I live. Phone and data reception.

sure they did. i have one and know atleast 5 people with one and no one has had a single problem. as a matter of fact its the only android phone that ive never even had to do a battery pull on. its also the only android phone with no lag. so go troll elsewhere
