Guest jonathanmusto Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 What happens in a non-removable battery situation when the phone crashes? I remember having to pull the battery from my HTC Desire a few times? I've currently got a 4S, which can be rebooted using home+power, but unsure how this works on android devices. I presume USB OTG will work on this phone making the storage less of an issue, but the fixed battery worries me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dgcorp Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 I'm with most of the other commenters above. Having been a long HTC fan I specifically avoided the One X to get the SGS3 because of the mSD slot and removable battery. I now think I could live with a fixed storage of 32GB but I want that spare battery in my pocket in any device I have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume its the same as tablets and a pc, so a long hold of the power button forces power off. Tbh I find that easier than removing the case and then cover to get at the battery. But something that's not been mentioned, 16gb and no SD, what are they doing :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest masterpfa Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 16gb and no MicroSD is a complete FAIL. Even worse there is an 8Gb model that's Complete Fail. If no other vendors (especially with the non removable battery) are announced for a Nexus Phone, I "MAY" skip this Nexus and stick to my "Much Loved" Galaxy Nexus and just update to the rumoured 4.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hecatae Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 See I fail to fill even 4gb of my android devices all my pictures and videos are uploaded to Google plus, so to me the 8gb model would be fantastic if the price is good.

Guest spacebar2011 Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 My One X (which I sold, despite being in total love with it, due to poor battery life) had 30 GB filled with music, few HD F1 videos and a couple games. I cannot imagine 16 GB doing me any good and 8 GB is just a joke in 2012. I have a S3 now which is all good except that it looks hideous and the display is a downgrade from the One X. I so want to get a Nexus but what on earth is making them take these terrible decisions? The rest of this device is so brilliant, why kill it all with anemic storage? A sealed battery doesn't bother me as long as its around the 2100 MAh mark. I just need 12-14 hours out of it with medium usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest everett_psycho Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 a bit more rumor on the change in the nexus programme http://androidandme.com/2012/10/news/rumor-android-4-2-to-feature-project-roadrunner-new-play-store-customization-center-enhanced-google-now/ If this is right it sounds like google may be solving this little update problem they have. to sumarise they are suggesting the new "customisation centre" will be a place for custom skins and themes but google will still be in control, i'm guessing they will give a couple of weeks for manufacturers to supply there chosen skin or theme and if it's not delivered they will roll out vanilla android without it and the user ill need to wait for the manufacturer to catch up. If this is how it works it sounds like a great idea to me, will finally give us a choice of nexus phones but all have vanilla android as a choice and will get that updated regardless of overlays like touchwiz, lg ui 3.0 or sense.

Guest the juggernaut Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 i dont agree with non expandable storage. but it is the nexus way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mtman1 Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 *le rant begin* Wtf Google??? No expandable storage = fail 16gb storage = flop No removable battery = absolute fail I'm filling 35 out of 36gb on my SD card, (4 gameloft games and 1500 songs use a heck of a lot of storage) Google HAVE to realise that people DONT have data plans and have to pay tonnes for data. USB OTG is sooooooo impractical. Note to Google and LG: PLEASE add another 2 or 3 models -32gb model -64gb model -16/32gb SD card model And please add removable batteries :) you're turning into apple, no SD card, non removable batteries. WE LIKED ANDROID AND NEXUS PHONES WHEN THEY HAD STUFF APPLE DIDNT! No wonder you're getting sued... *le rant over* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shuflie Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 They could call it the Nexus Optimus, or NO for short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dbbloke Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Its not gonna initially be cheap. But good on you LG for going S4. Spec could be better, guess it depends on availability in store date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rferrett Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 For me the no Sd slot is understandable (if annoying) but I just don't get the low storage thing. It's not like internal flash memory is really expensive or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spec could be better, guess it depends on availability in store date. Here's hoping the o2x delays were down to nvidia and the tegra chip inside and this lgs way to peed their updates up a bit. Of course they won't say this as that is admitting there was ever a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
