Tidbits, Im not doubting you get excellent battery life, and I am truly envious. Just as I am of those who dont have any of the radio problems or reboots. My extended arrives today and I cant wait to see it not work as I had hoped for as well. From 1850mA to 2100 is only about a 15% increase so Im not holding my breath.
I'll see how I fare with the extended batt and look to be exchanging the phone for another GNex, as the service rep was nice enough to grant me a restock credit, so I wont have to pay even more money when I go to swap out this faulty POS. SWeettt!!! Its quite confusing and depressing, hearing the stories of people who get fine battery life and have no problems with signal issues and what not. It could be many things here, whats going on. A bad batch of phones that went out, worse or faulty coverege in differing areas, an act of god, poor luck, I dont really know. I still agree, like many, that if you live in an area with poor 4G (mines not the best but not the worst) your gonna have the signal issues/switching problems from 4 to 3G (I do) which will then result in horrible battery life, because the phone is always searching for that 4G signal, trying to lock on (got this too). But really Im groing sick of having Nexus envy, as, I do own one. It just works much worse than a lot of peoples, but at least I know im not the only one. Furthermore, the fact that I've even tried to downgrade to 3g only with the Nexus, yet get much worse of a signal than my old phones, and still have problems "locking on" tells that there is something wrong with the radio, among other things. If the next one doesnt work as well I will be returning it and going back to my old rooted Incredible and will try and wait for the D4, even though Im not a big fan of the moto designs with their jay leno chins. The fact that people have also answered that the key to this phone is rooting it, is not a warm vote of confidence either. I didnt root my incredible because I needed performance boosts from the antenna or battery. I was sick of bloatware and wanted to be able to truly pimp my phone. We shouldnt nessisarily have to rely on our own community of deveopers and hackers to provide software updates and fixes for issues that clearly should have been addressed way before the launch. If I root the phone, my warrenty is out the door and, I know its a long shot theyd ever be able to prove it, but Im not willing to gamble on the warrenty coverage yet of suck a finicy, fragile device that already is not without issues. In short, the GNex is like that girl I wish I never met. I still cant get her outta my head and she was totally wrong for me, in every way. Messed with my head. Broke my heart. And I still cant get her outta there. I wish I never met either one of them.
