Though are you on Verizon? You are missing one feature, though the hardware is still included, Google Wallet. Give it a search, you can enable it without rooting the phone but you may not need it.

Yep I am on VZ. I will check that out.

I agree, I have the google wallet installed and did a quick trial run and it worked with no problem I was using the $10 gift that I was given for signing up. :)

I haven't looked for any yet

I always carry mine in my shirt pocket during the day so I'm good without one. Knock on Wood!!

I did find this protective cover though, I like the privacy version

I have a bionic, and it is getting better. Had TONS of problems at first (old lady is still having problems with hers), but the last few updates seemed to help.

I reallllllllllly want the Nexus though.

m4a1mustang 12-23-2011 08:44 AM

So the phone is pretty easy to get used to. I am already over having a physical keyboard (my phones for the last 3-4 years were either Blackberry or Droid models with keyboards). The screen is amazing. The camera is only so-so... kind of stinks that it didn't get a better one, but it's still pretty decent. Voice-to-text recognition is a lot clearer than with my Droid 2. The "Drive Home" widget is really cool. I have my office and home on my home screen and it uses the real-time traffic to tell me how many minutes away from each I am. Pretty cool.

Still figuring out some other shiz.

All this talk of new phones makes me want to get one too, but I have to wait till March for my upgrade. My try to get the HTC which is supposed to be the first quad core Android phone :yum:

I might have waited to see what other Android 4.0 phones roll out next year, but because my Droid 2 only worked about 50% of the time I couldn't. The GN will do!

Yeah my Incredible is still working ok so I can wait.

Hey Steve if you need more Powah?

The ext bat is on sale at verizon online for 24.99 1/2 off the regular price

Also use volume+ ap to increase the dismal sound volume from the handsfree speaker and this will increase the ringer volume also.

m4a1mustang 12-24-2011 05:54 PM

OK so I am not sure if I'm keeping the phone. No SMS Bluetooth??? Texts don't work with Sync.

Volume is stupid low (haven't tried volume + yet) and wifi connectivity is weak.

I have some time to figure it out but I might exchange for a RAZR. I think it gets the 4.0 update in a month or two.

Yea, if it's not working for you? The Razr should be another good choice and ICS 4.0 will be rolling out to the gingerbread phones soon but in small updates. I would first check that the Razr meets your needs in specs and capabilities, I'm pretty Happy and have no regrets upgrading from a BIONIC

I don't really regret getting the nexus. My Droid 2 just didn't work so I had to upgrade.

Texting... not a big issue because I do not respond to text messages while driving anymore... too dangerous. But it was nice to have sync read incoming texts to me.

I guess I will just ride it out and see how I like it... I have 28 more days to return it if necessary.

I don't have these issues that you seem to be having. I'm running the OTA(4.0.2), rooted with some addons, I've played with 4.0.3 some of the stuff is not to stable as of yet for everyday use. I am however running the leaked radio img's for 4.0.3 made a big difference.

It all come down to preference though.

My boss has the RAZR and I like it, honestly the RAZR has better hardware (screen/camera/etc.) but is a Motorola build with their software over Android.

Wanted to share this if anyone is interested :)

Update: Rom has gone to 1.1.1 which includes the Verizon APK fixes

For those with voice issues, have you tried changing the vocoder encoding to 13K instead of evrc?
