[Q] Nexus One replacement? - Nexus One General

Hi all! I'm thinking of selling my Nexus One, but before doing so I'm looking at what options I have open to me. Can any of you guys suggest phones, any OS really, and comment about the phone with respect to the Nexus?
I'm currently considering the HTC Desire Z/ G2, the HTC Desire HD, the Nokia N8 and the iPhone 4. Any thoughts?
Oh, and no CDMA phones please. I live in a GSM country.

Get an HD2 and flash whatever rom you want on it, unless you want a front facing camera then its down to the IPhone 4 or the nexus s...

dont get nokia n8. that is a definite downgrade. desire z seems a downgrade too (slower CPU) desire hd yes, iPhone 4, i wouldn't get that. i would wait a couple months till iPhone 5 (june) or if you can hold of, just keel your nexus, it is still arilliant phone. you can update it through loads of custom roms. you will also get the official 2.3 update. hope i helped.

I barely got my nexus one since I got it for cheap on ebay but I was reallllllly tempted of getting the nokia N8 coming from a nexus one to a desire z or a desire hd doesn't really qualify for a nexus one upgrade. My opinion is if your using the next phone for 6 months to a year get the iphone 4 or N8 if your geting another android device stick to your nexus. If your planning to keep the device for a year or two wait until the next gen iphone comes out or meego or android tegra devices.

Personally I wouldn't sell off you N1 just yet. The N1 still has a lot of life left in it, the recent releases aren't exactly huge upgrades.
If your N1 died/broke/bricked/whatever and you need a replacement then yes, a Desire HD or even a Nexus S would be a good choice if it picks your fancy.
If you are selling because you want a new toy to play with then I'd wait until the dual cores hit the market since they just around the corner.

Thanks guys, but I have come to a conlusion that I think many Nexus One owners feel. I've been looking ALL OVER at phones that have just come out, being rumoured, etc etc, but this just made me want my Nexus even more because (silly as it may sound) I can't find anything that I feel could occupy the same space in my heart as the Nexus
Now, I'm off to get myself some of those custom ROMs. Thanks a million guys!

no problem mate

Yeah you'd be better off waiting. CES is going on right now and a lot of the new phones will be out fairly soon (going by the current rate phones are being churned out).
I'm looking to move on too, but I'm happy to wait for the new pack.

I'm chiming in a bit late here as you have made up your mind and keeping your Nexus, but I will add that the Nexus One is the best phone I've ever owned. My main reason: The phone did not come loaded with bloatware and you don't have to root or flash to make it a great device. You're making the right decision.

Thanks again guys, looking at what's out the moment only makes me love my Nexus more. Even more so that I'm running Cyanogenmod 7 on it XD
The dual core phones are interesting, but none have the same "impact" the Nexus One has. And I'd be surprised if Google didn't release a "Nexus 2" with the same power, and maybe 2.4 if the rumours are to be believed.

Technically there is a sucessor, - Google Nexus S developed by Samsung. but i wouldnt condider it a major upgrade.

I completely agree that the nexus s is not much of an upgrade.. More of a face lift. Personally I have messed with my buddy's NS and it feels like my Vibrant I had (cheep and plastic) but I do have to say it looks sexy. I love my N1 and it will be around until it bites the dust.
Great choice on keeping your N1!!

I know about the Nexus S, but I think calling it the Nexus One's successor is borderline crimal.
Agreed, it looks great, but doesn't feel so great. But I guess it's a suitable platform to launch Gingerbread. After all, it's almost more about the software than the hardware.

I say Nexus One, wait until there is a phone that have things that the N1 don't have or can handle... the SGS and DHD is no big upgrade imo.
Between those 2, go the HTC. Samsung has a bad name in android, until they change that, HTC is always the smartest option. For support, stability and updates

I'm going to be getting a new phone soon as well.
But I'm in the US. I hate getting subsidized phones, due to being locked in for 2 years, and the fact that once a new phone comes out on at&t (like the recent galaxy s) everyone gets it.. and that's annoying.
WinPhone7 looks kinda goofy. But I can't take a poke at it since it's not officially released yet.
The Desire HD is something I really desire though.
had a play with one of htc's yet to be released windows phone 7 phones and I've got to say, I'm considering hanging up my nexus for one. I hope someone manages to port windows phone 7 to the nexus, that would be sweet

i know this phone is about 2 years old but is it worth buying it for $200 USD
how is the development here? is it slow, abandon?
i see that there is a sense 4.0 rom for it! and its pretty good with latest update from Google.
I have a galaxy s2 t989 and im kinda tired of roms that are based on stock
i like to have different UI on a phone

I had the GS2, then got the Nexus S 4G. No regrets, I love it. Many ROMS/kernels to choose from, not to mention 4.1 is coming to the device.
thanks guys, I'm just waiting on a answer of this guys I found on cl. thought about the Gnex but it doesnt seem to beat this device when it comes with roms and such.
The only thing holding me on buying this phone and get the Gnex is the processor a dual core vs a single core.

My Desire was better (LOL) but it is a good phone too! It is worth to buy it for 200.
its 100% worth it. i bouth the 19020a 7 months ago for 350$ and still dont think i wasted a cent. would probably pay it again if i broke this one
The Nexus S is one of the greatest mobile devices ever made. The hummingbird combo is such a strong processor for it's time, paired with a wonderful screen, sleek black look and styling, and most of all, a Wolfson DAC for top notch sound quality.
I would buy a Nexus S just as a ipod or ipod touch replacement. The fact that it's a phone too is a great bonus. The downside of course is only 16gb internal storage so some may need to be selective with what media you put on there, or get your cloud on.
Personally I'd try to get a GNex on the Google Play Store, its 150$ more and you probably won't get that (darn why did I get a year & half old phone) idea in your head lol It is still a great phone but if you've tried a 720p screen before its hard to go back to a 480p resolution, not to mention you'd be getting like an extra year of official Google support, who knows how many more official updates our Nexus S will get haha. Back on topic, yes the Nexus S is a great phone and you'd be getting amazing AOSP ROMs along with it but don't expect fully functioning sense and touchwiz ROMS, they are great but very buggy IMO.

When i bought this phone 1 year ago there were already dualcore phones but the price of nexus s and knowing that it is official google phone attracted me to it.Today nexus s has ICS and soon coming JB ,my brothers LG O2X according to harware specs much better then nexus has GB on it and it performs much slower to my 4.0.4 offical ROM.So i would recomend this phone to everyone.I love it so much :laugh:

[Q] Switching to Android

Hi I have finally grown sick of iOS after owning iPhone's for the past 3 years, and I need advice. Should I use the "pure" Nexus phone or should I use a phone with a manufacture skin? Will I have a better experience with pure android or an overlayed one?
Only you can answer that.
I would suggest you sending as much time with each device of your interest in the stores as possible and go from there.
Obviously the n4 will be hard to get a feel for as its not just able to be held in stores, already in my area, so a gnex will get you a good feel for vanilla android.

Unfortunately neither the 4 or the Gn are available in store in New Zealand( where I live) although I have grown used to instant software updates on my iPhone so maybe Nexus is the best device for me?
Part of that will depend on who majes the phone, I think.
For instance, my experience with Samsung's touchwiz has been only passable--even on jellybean. But even still, I've vastly improved that by the use of custom launchers; Nova being my go to option.
Additionally, if u like to tinker a bit you can always root your device and get a more vanilla experience.
Cheers.

Taking a phone well known by a community gives you a possibility to try nexus experience with CyanogenMod by custom flashing, and the experience is hair close to that on nexus.
But nexus device gets update first, while community spends some time on porting those.

I came from many iPhones to android and my first android phone was an HTC with sense. I HATED sense... It was bulky, it slowed down the phone and it looked like crap. When I rooted the phone and threw on an AOSP rom, I was much happier. The feel is simpler and everything runs smoother. Now with the N4, I am extremely happy with it.
You should still try out some other skins at your local mobile store, buy my vote would be the N4.

I came from the iPhone as well after using it for about 3 years as well. At the time, to me at least, Apple was definitely rocking it and delivered. For me though now, it's been getting boring and I've been wanting to switch to an Android phone for the last year or so, but I wanted that Pure Google experience, but I honestly thought that the Galaxy Nexus was kinda meh. But now with the Nexus 4, you get a great price, a phone of great build and quality, great specs (the best at the moment) and let us not forget that pure Google experience! There has never been a better time to hop over to Android. I was honestly considering a Note II on T-Mobile, but I really dislike carrier updates, to me they feel very slow and you wont always exactly get them. For me the Nexus 4 is the way to go. I still have a Macbook Pro and an iPad still from my old fanboy days though haha, but now I just use what's best regardless. I do want a Nexus 10' but I think I'll stick with my iPad and Macbook Pro for educational purposes in the meantime.

Exact same circumstances as you! I was getting bored of iOS and the Gnexus was just bad but this N4 is amazingly better then anything. I still have the iPad i have because its the best tablet OS and still have my MacBook pro from 2011 for my desktop OS but iOS on iPhone was getting stale and had practically no customisability so I am really looking foward to when dad buys me this epic phone!!!

Stock Jellybean experience is still light years ahead of what you have been used to with the "list of icons" UI that iOS has.
I wouldn't think two seconds about that aspect. What I would consider, coming from Apple, is the upgrade experience. When Apple and Google announce the latest stuff, it's only natural that as a end-user you want it NOW. Only Nexus delivers this promise, the Apple-like upgrade experience.
I would instantly rule out anything but a Nexus, when coming from iOS.

That's very true and another good point that I had forgotten to mention. Thanks for pointing it out. Upgrades, upgrades, upgrades. One of the main reasons I stayed with Apple for quite a while was the level of support and OS upgrades they provided, my previously retired iPhone 3Gs was from 09', yet it was able to run the latest iOS version. No other Android phone is exactly able to do that unless you root or get a custom ported ROM with the exception of the Nexus line sort of. The Nexus like you've said is a no-brainer and perhaps the only phone I'd ever consider because of the support and updates I'd get. Therefore for someone to come from iOS like OP, the Nexus is definitely your number one choice,

I suggest you should get a HTC one x, HTC one x +, or a pure android such as the N4 (nexus 4). I recommend you should do phone comparisons using gsmarena or phonearena.
I suggested HTC because it has a beautiful interface. Also, if you want a 5 inch display phone from HTC, I would say get the DNA (Verizon version) or HTC deluxe/DLX (international version)... The international version is not out yet.

The Sense GUI in my opinion isn't exactly very good for an enthusiast/power user who wants the most out of his or her phone. For the average Joe, sure it is nice and simple to use. But for those who want performance and what not, they'd still have to run the stock Android on it just to make the most use of their phone because Sense GUI is pretty RAM-hungry and uses quite a bit of resources. It is nice, don't get me wrong, but stock Android is just as nice too.

[Q] Nexus 4 or HTC One X+

Hello! I'm a current galaxy nexus user and I feel like I need an upgrade, and the only two devices that come across my mind are the Nexus 4 and the One X+ (international version and unlocked). At first I was, actually I still am Nexus obsessed, so the Nexus 4 always was my first option. But with all this shipping and availability trouble that is going on at the moment, plus the glass of the back thing, I started wondering if it is really worthy.
So, I need some advices and stuff like that so I can decide.
Attention:
My decision will be made regardless the common things, like: lack of LTE in the Nexus 4, price, Sense UI (I'm gonna use cyanogenmod on both devices, even if I have to wait a bit for the official CM 10.1 for the OX+, consider it) and I know the One X+ will probably be left alone by HTC in one year or more, but this won't be a problem because I'll most probably get a new phone in one year (not trying to sound like a bad ass, lol)
Thanks in advance! Let me know what you all think.
Get a n4, the shipping will supposedly be worked out by mid feb

Well, the shipping issue isn't the reason of my doubt, because I'll probably buy it on Amazon as I won't be able to buy it later. I need to make a decision by the first week of february.
Never had an HTC phone before.. So I wont tell you that it's a crappy phone. The nexus now is different story. This is my second nexus device :good: And once you get a nexus you enjoy android more.. Well it's untouched and yes updates are timely I'm sure you know that!! To get your hands on one of these unless your willing to buy somewhere else it's a hassle!! But once you have it you''ll love it.. Now the Glass you ask about.. To be honest once you have a case you should be fine.. Kinda of annoying to baby this phone without a case... Believe me it's a gem.. IMO! Sure there are things ppl will say is missing Whatever..
Me I love this phone I'm constantly flashing stuff so this device is perfect for me:good: As mentioned before never owned or use a HTC phone.. Be happy with your purchase....
You could buy the at&t one x (not the +) for cheap and unlock it. They are going for $200 to $250 on ebay right now. I had the at&t one x and the one x+ at the same time and the one x was faster at everything. I was disappointed with the one x+ when I compared the 2 phones side by side. I sold the one x+ and bought the nexus 4. I know you want unlocked but the dual core s4 processor in the one x is faster than the tegra 3 at everything but the quadrant benchmark, but we all know benchmarks mean nothing. The development for the at&t one x is really good at the moment, it already has cm10.1. Just a suggestion.

N4 does not have USB OTG, HTC One X does I believe. I'd have gone with an int'l HOX, but I got an N4 before Google did the old switcharoo on us.
I had an AT&T HOX (sold it for N4 because it didn't support T-Mobile well), and it felt like a great sturdy device. I liked the poly-carbonate back. It stands up a lot better to drops. My vote goes to HOX.
Go for the One X+ the little RAM will be annoying though but if you can get over that it should offer a good experience, I have a AT&T One X and Nexus 4 and personally think N4 is better but 64GB internal, better front and rear cameras, I find the speaker and sound quality better on N4 and custom ROMS are way better on N4 than One X and I think the screens are equally good not to mention you can tweak colors on N4, but LTE seems to be an issue for you, so One X+
Let me also N4 is better looking design wise, both are in cases but the clean look is beautiful
Software software!!!!!
It really depends upon your priorities. I got the N4 because it does everything that I want and is $350 whereas my cousin, for example, got the One X+ because he needs 64MB storage for music.
If you can't wait a month, then One X+ is the only solution. If you can, then you have to decide whether no LTE and 16MB of storage is a dealbreaker; if not, then the N4 should be the choice. You should also be aware of that the One X+ apparently has horrible battery life.
Htc sucks.

Interesting! I was also looking at the three (One X+, Nexus 4, and One X). I settled on the One X. A lot of what I found indicated that the One X outperformed the X+. Development is also significantly better right now. I was turned away from the Nexus 4 by the reported issues. It must not be that bad; it's always sold out on Google Play lol.

I own both, the n4 & one x (international version) & I gotta say the n4 is way better than my one x. My main problem with HTC devices is how they lock them down. No s-off, bootloader unlock only. Plus you gotta fastboot flash your boot.img with every rom upgrade. Look at what htc is doing right now, removing all sites that offer RUU downloads for developers to build new roms on. It looks like HTC doesn't want anyone developing on there devices. Plus they hold on to there kernel source for 90 days so forget about having the latest greatest roms & kernels avalible. N4 on the other hand is great. snappy as hell, constant development, & always the latest sources & binaries avalible for developers to build upon.

As far as flashing the boot.img, download Flash Image GUI from the Google play store. This app will flash the boot.img for you without having to use fastboot. I used it all the time when I had my one x and never had any problems.

You probably had the AT&T variant. On the international HOX the boot partition can only be flashed through fastboot
N4, hands down. I've had a lot of devices and this(n4) is soooooo badass.

Nexus 4 defo. If you can get your hands on one. Would love to see Google / LG's 'planning' on this!
HTC have only made 2 truly great phones: HD2 and Nexus One. I had the sensation.. blerg that was an experience then 12 other models of the same phone came out that same week, and then they did the same with the 'One' series and I just lost the will to live (a tad dramatic I admit over a phone) and got an S2 then the N4..
N4 all the way. Unless Google do actually screw us all and release KLP on a new device. which would make me ever so slightly cross. But it doesn't take much..
I was torn between the same two phones, went for the Nexus 4 and I'm really happy with it. First android phone, iphone user before that.
I'd recommend using Faux kernel and app - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2008222 - you can edit the colour/gamma settings... my only issue with the phone is the default gamma isn't great, whites have a hint of yellow.
Had an international one X and it wasn't a good experience, if you want to keep sense then one x off course, but if you ever think that you might want vanilla android or more openness then the nexus. The one X unfortunately was the last straw for me, you get the sense from the forum that generally everyone was fed up. Look at any new leak for a HTC phone and there so much negativity, these aren't fanboys, these are people like me who bought desires or sensations and are witnessing htc continually turn there back on them.

Who's "upgrading" to HTC One?

Just want to know if there's worth to do the change or to wait for the next nexus.
I am not going to buy a SGS4, I don't like it, the xperia z is to squared, lg optimus ? Is lg and the HTC seems to be perfect.
Thanks.

I am more seriously considering the rumoured Nexus 4 32GB LTE, if that phone is a flop I may pick up an HTC One later this year.
I had it and liked it a lot. The only reason I went back to my N4 was because I'm scared of how well it will get updated. Overall though I may pick it up again. Its beautiful, fast and everything about it works. I miss some of its kool features already.

Personally, after being sucked into the Nexus line (pun not initially intended, but halfway through typing, fully intended), I won't be leaving for a long time. The Nexus 4 is just such a great phone, and no manufacturer getting in the way of tweaking it. Plus, it's probably half the price of the One. If you're signing a contract, then you have to weigh the pros and cons of that.
Anyway, no, I'm not getting the One. The decision to upgrade can only be made by you. Good luck.
I actually 'downgraded' (ordered the HTC One, waited for a month for it to ship and when I saw they will not have any more stock for a long time, I cancelled the order and bought the N4). I do not regret it at all, seeing how fast it is.

What makes you think a HTC One is an upgrade from a Nexus4?
Will you still think ANY of the above phones are an upgrade when the Nexus4 is sporting Android 5 and they are all still on Android 4.1???

What makes you think android 5 is coming out anytime soon? If anything rumor has it that 4.3 is next in line. Though I will admit manu factors won't be updating to that anytime soon.

The upgrading is quoted which means that I don't necessarily think it's an upgrade. But it is an upgrade in hardware cause it comes with bigger screen ,faster processor and else.
In the software I really don't care cause devs will always keep up with Google as the CM project.
Just wanted to know cause I love the idea of dual speakers.

I've definitely considered it at times, but it's doubtful. It's an absolutely gorgeous phone, and Sense 5 does seem improved.
I really hope HTC gets the next Nexus, their hardware is out of the park but their software is junk.

Once you go Nexus you can't go back!!!
You have been warned!!!
unless the nexus 5 blows me away, I'll probably wait for the 6. I got bills to pay so I can't upgrade every 6 months to whatever "it" phone is on the market like some of u guys. Even though the N4 has a very good camera, I'd like to see Google step up their game and make the next iteration have one of the best cameras on the market.. Also have a 32GB option and I'm good.

Yeah... I want too, I really hope a 32/64gb versions. The memory is necessary and better camera. I hope Google go back to HTC not to Motorola, but I am loving the one design.

Although the one is a very nice device, i will never buy another non nexus device again.
The hardware is great, typical HTC, but as long as they are stuck on stupid when it comes to skinning the UI I won't be buying another non-nexus device (unless I go back to apple.)
The One is great, but 600 Euro??? Like an apple phone...
So I'll use my Nexus in the next months.
