[Q] 32GB rumour

Hey all. I know we're all really excited for Google I/O and I was just wondering how accurate the 32GB Nexus 4 rumour was. My GS3 was sent for repair yesterday (for the second time in a year) and was seriously considering getting a Nexus. If there is a bigger storage option being unveiled then I'd quite appreciate it, but if it's unlikely I'll make do with the 16GB. What do people think?

Sure you can't wait another 5 days? https://developers.google.com/events/io/

We have a thread like this already.

I wasn't just asking about whether it's definite. I also wanted to know what you guys thought of it as an S3 replacement.

It definitely replace GS3 .about 32GB I don't think so it will launch where there is rumor of N5 in Nov or DEC of 2013 .

I have an S3. I only used it once after I got it. I don't like the S3.

Then you`ll definately hate the S4 with 7GB OS including lots and lots of BLOATWARE

So the main keynote is over and there doesn't appear to be any new nexus hardware whatsoever. Just the pure GS4. Is it safe to assume no 32gb will arrive? Really want to order it now.

Development is still a little slow but it is definitely picking up(still early) As far as hardware I couldn't be happier. It is my first tablet but by far the best bang for your buck. It will be a while before it is obsolete. Would recommend it for sure.

I picked up this tablet to replace my Asus tf300. What I love about this tablet is the fluidness of the tablet. You wouldn't be disappointed with this purchase.

I can't put mine down. I gave away my old one and my transformer infinite. I have not experienced any issues with mine. Best tablet I have ever owned.

Best tablet I've ever owned. The screen is amazing and the fluidness is perfect. I can't help but think that all the issues I had with the first have been fixed on the second. As long as u don't get a defective one I can't see how you could go wrong or be unhappy with this purchase.

I was using a free iPad 3rd Gen table for surfing and was extremely unhappy with it, especially since I could not find a decent browser that would work given the iOS operating system. I am happy with my purchase of the N7 and would recommend it for any one who owns an Android phone who is looking for a tablet,

The hardware is amazing.
It's way underpriced and I love it :victory:

Spent the whole day playing with it today after buying it from a local Gamestop. It's great. Enjoying it much more than the previous Nexus 7. The screen is beautiful and the dual speakers are a breath of fresh air compared to the tinny sound of the mono speaker we had previously.

from an s4 to a moto x

I started at&t services five days ago and i procured an s4. when i buy a phone i like to think of what it can do now and not what it could do after rooting. in fact, i havent rooted any of my personal phones in almost a year or so.
immediately i felt just how cheap the s4 felt, and slippery. the screen was beautiful though. battery life was great too. i couldnt get over the software hiccups, all the at&t AND samsung bloat and the almost square pics that the 13mp camera provided (when in 13mp mode). if i were to open my app drawer and fling the pages around i was on occasion greeted with lag. i couldnt stick with a phone for two years that performed like this, my previous phone was an htc one on tmobile that didnt lag at all.
so i decided to exchange the phone, i didnt want another one, that phone was great but it just charged so slow, and to a heavy user/ ingress player; its a bane. so i grabbed a moto x. have had it for almost two or three days now. no regrets so far. the display is amazing, i can notice small jaggies when holding the x about 5 inches from my face. battery life is slightly better than the s4. gps is spot on, so is my compass ive noticed. build quality is great too. camera, out in a sunny day does amazing! low light situations has me usually retaking the pic every now and then. speakers are awesome too, not as loud as the ones, but good enough.
over all, i dont miss the s4 at all and i dont regret my purchase. the value adds really do make this device worth its price. while i was typing this i have "ok google now" a few times. its touchless features is a god send in the car too

How is the 4g signal compared to the S4?

I did the same thing except on Verizon and don't miss the s4 at all. I came from a gnex and the moto x feels perfect. Nearly stock optimized android plus you can actually hold the phone in one hand.

I sold my S4 to my father. This phone is just about perfect.
Sent from my XT1060 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I did the same thing. I got rid of my S4 and I'm loving this phone. The size is so much better and it fells much more solid. The switch back down to a 720p resolution didn't really make a difference. My only complaint is the camera and it seems that we have updates coming to improve the performance.

For the s4 to moto x guys would you say the text is just as readable or better because the moto x is 720 p?

I have also recently switched from the S4 to the Moto X. So far, absolutely no regrets. The activate notifications are so intuitive, and after about a week and a half I still feel like i'm performing a magic trick when I use touchless control. I believe this phone was specifically made to show that the latest and greatest specs aren't needed to have great performance on a phone.

You guys are fueling my decision to switch. I want to so bad.... you all are saying its worth it I hope so

What's the best part of the phone for you? I've used all the above at one point or another and still have the One. The S4 was way to gimmicky for me and the Z10 just doesn't have the necessary apps for my everyday activities.

I will be going to Verizon after work to switch over, it seems that most of the people that are talking about it are very satisfied with the X.

Well I switched so far so good I just have to get used to the smaller screen.

For me its the size and closer to stock than any other besides a nexus..I've owned a ton of android phones besides the ones mentioned lol including the nexus s and nexus 4 but they are too plain... The s4 had way too many gimmicks that frankly didn't work that well IMO.. And battery life absolutely sucked on that phone for me... Z10 I loved but my key banking apps ( even with sideloading (which was unreliable to to begin with) were still missing android libs and still didnt work) and the fact the maps app completely skipped over businesses close to me when I searched that was it for me... The one was an awesome phone but I went through two of them that the camera would just freeze and cause the camera to crash over and over again...
So here I am lol.... When I was on Verizon I loved the Motorola DROID line and have been looking for a good offering from them on AT&T and finally have it

Thanks, at least people who paid get something unlike Tapatalk who just screwed it's own customers

Looks like they might not be updating the Legacy Tablet app anymore. If you're using that just install the new free standard SwiftKey app. It functions exactly the same and will still give you the free premiere pack.

Yeah I believe it was stated almost a year ago that Tablet version was depreciated and that the SwiftKey app was now universal. Probably uses build.prop to determine if the device is a tablet or phone.

If you bought the tablet version before the merge of the phone and tablet versions you were still able to use the tablet version to get updates of the merged version. It was the same as the newer merged version but just under the title of SwiftKey Tablet. This is how I've been using SwiftKey on my Nexus 5 and 7 because I bought it for my Nexus 7 before I had an Android phone.
What I'm saying is, unless they're taking longer to push out the Legacy Tablet update, it seems they may have stopped updating it because the standard version is free now.

No problem my dude! I just wanted to make sure others got the info. SwiftKey did stop pushing out auto-updates for a little bit but eventually started doing it as the (Legacy) version. I loved the keyboard but there was no way was I going to buy it twice so I kept checking on what they were doing for people who bought the tablet version.

Same BS as Tapatalk.
You pay for the phone app, then you pay for the tablet app and then they put them together again to rip you up in another way.
Tapatalk, Swiftkey, Swype and all the game developers that sell apps, then make them freemium and stop developing the paid versions...suck my ass!

Not quite the same. Tapatalk is a scam. The guy makes a paid version, you buy it, then he releases a NEW paid version and releases an update to cripple the old one.
This just went free with the themes being the paid option, which they gave for free to people who purchased prior, bringing everyone to equal footing with no loss of function.

I mean I paid too for SwiftKey and Tapatalk PRO. But I learned to deal with this freemium structure. In the long run, it's XDA. Don't want we all want what's the best for the community? The Play Store isn't XDA for people who read this post too literally, but rather the news in the Android community is great for every one on XDA.

That's true. I did buy Tapatalk twice, and the newer one was on sale for 99 cents. But Tapatalk VIP members get unlimited non-watermarked image uploads. Being premium for both apps has its advantages so I guess I'm not mad at all.
I mean after all, the more popular an app is, the less money it makes over time because everyone already has it. I can understand that situation from a developer standpoint, and some developers truly deserve their income.

The swiftkey part is not true. I paid the for that app.
The xyz theme earlier is available with free version of swiftkey as well.
Users who paid for swiftkey receives additional 10 themes (and they can use the XYZ theme as well). I really like the theme pack they provided.

Should I switch??

Been a BlackBerry user for a long time. Currently using the Passport SE. While I love the bb10 OS, I'm wondering about how long the OS will last. Should I switch to nexus 6p? I'm not a big fan of android. But with plain android version I might be OK. Mainly I use the phone for emails, texts and talk. Not a big fan of apps. I would still miss the BlackBerry Hub and the fantastic email client of BlackBerry. Is this worth considering??

Bought the Priv and returned it in a week. Didn't like android and the slide out keyboard. Plus I was missing the bb10 features too much. That's my main concern with nexus as well. Not a big fan of android.

Let me put it this way, I've not heard once on XDA from Nexus owners that they miss a BlackBerry device! But its your choice...

Why get a nexus if you don't like android?? It'll be less similar to BB than the Priv is.
