First time I don't feel like getting a new phone...

I usually switch phones every 4 months but since I got my nexus 4 I do not feel like getting rid of the nexus 4. Anybody else feels the same out there?

I do too. Except for the limited battery capacity, the phone feels great. You get to do what you like with it, no oem restrictions and always the first to get software updates.

I too am that type of person but I'm really enjoying the nexus!

Me too! I plan on getting a new one in 2-3 years but only if there'll be another amazing Nexus available

Pretty much this. I'll probably just stick with whatever the latest Nexus is.

Unfortunately I don't feel the same way. This HTC One is calling me and I must get it.

Anything special about it? I read it has many production flaws + software will be two versions behind within 2 months when klp comes out. Still great phone though!

I was drooling over the HTC One when I first heard of it. But then I thought "Mine is better cuz it's cheaper, *****es".
(I still secretly love the HTC One tho. Please don't tell it to myself or I'll regret buying the N4)

i do... abit for the Z

The Nexus 4 is the perfect phone for me, no doubt about it.
However, being the tech geek that I am there is no doubt in my mind I will grab the Nexus 5 about 6 months after it's released (I don't want to deal with launch-day drama and hardware issues which always seem to plague the initial Nexus releases)
I can say, however, that I will only be buying Nexus phones from now on since they have finally stepped up to the plate with decent hardware and specs. The Gnex was a massive disappointment to me, I sold it within four months of owning it.

Same for me. I had the one x for the last year but it has started giving me trouble by not recognizing the Sim card was in the slot.
I was torn between the nexus 4. HTC one and the galaxy s4.
After much deliberation I went with the nexus 4 and I'm so glad I did.
I owned the nexus one before so I am already accustomed to the nexus experience.
I honestly didn't expect the 4 to be so much better than the one x. Snappier. Better gaming performance and longer battery life.
I'm so glad I switched

Good luck with HTC. I just sold my HTC OneX+ after 4 months only. Just can't stand anything except stock Android.

Same here, N4 is perfect for my needs.

I've upgraded from a BB Curve 3G, So as you could imaging this phone is one hell of a upgrade, So I won't be looking for a new phone anytime soon. Well happy with my Nexus 4

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.

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

Verizon

Damn, if this is coming out on Verizon tomorrow, Verizon isn't doing lg any favors. They don't know at the stores yet. Sometimes I think Samsung owns part of Verizon. They know all about note III. I'm a little disappointed at the lack of ANY buzz. Seems like only people who are hard core phone junkies have even heard about it

yep that's typical verizon for you lol and their employees don't know a damn thing. I'm gonna hit up a corporate store on the way home from work to see if they have a demo model out yet, as some people said they did already.

Now when you say it has root, you mean the Verizon version?
Unrelated - why are all the carriers version of this phone bundled into 1 forum?

'VERIZON30'

What would stop you getting an LG G2?

Now that they dropped the price to
99 bucks everywhere, I'm interested to know if anyone would consider getting one? I'm still within my 14 day grace period and I'm seriously considering it.
I'm really not totally happy with the motox camera if I'm honest and there's a lot to like about the LG.

Be leery of that rear button if you carry it in your pocket. I have already received a few calls regarding it stopping working.
Imprinted directly to your mind via a Moto X

That's the thing that worries me, although spec wise it trumps a lot of phones.
Sent from my XT1060 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

too big of a screen. moto x is the sweet spot for me.

I returned G2 and got Moto X because:
Knock knock doesn't always work.
Camera at night sucks if the object moves at all.
Screen is a little too sensitive at times.
Lg UI is so heavy that it makes that beast of a processor cry at times, pretty laggy IMHO.
I held Moto X and it hit all the sweet spots from size to speed and active display and other features are reliable. It's hard to beat Motorola quality. Camera is pretty decent since upgrade. Overall, moto x is a better package if I may say.

I hear you guys. I do really like the form factor of the motox. I guess I need to give it some time and love. I think I may have been spoiled with the camera on my SGS3 previously. My photos really don't seem as good. It's a shame.

The chances of getting KitKat. Moto X and G2 are the same price with contract now. The chances of you getting kitkat on the G2 by this year and on Verizon is very slim. Unlike the moto X where leaked builds are already coming in.

There was a rumor in the G2 section that stated 4.4 wouldn't be released till mid January since LG is supposedly going to redo its whole UI. Add a month to that for Verizon and yeah...
Just a rumor but something to think about. I'm aiming to get the Moto X in a 32GB flavor. Leaning towards the dev edition but it's hard passing up an opportunity to be able to use motomaker on vzw.

I just bought an lg g2 for sprint yesterday just have to wait until it gets here, trying to sell my moto x as we speak. Moto x is not a bad phone at all it really grew on me but the phone is just too small for me.

The only thing that would stop me from buying a G2 is that LG makes it. Had and Optimus G and Nexus 4, wasn't that impressed.

[Q] Any devices you are going to trade for in the next couple months?

I have been thinking about getting the G2 for a little while. I'm with Tmobile and they have it for $500 but I'm wondering if there are any phones coming out in the next couple of months that would be worth waiting for. I have a Nexus 4 and it's been good but I like the G2 because of it's screen size and battery life. The updates on the Nexus are great to have but I think battery life might be more important to me.
Is there a phone coming out soon that you will be getting?

No. Not even s5, g3 or iPhone 6.this phone suits my needs and more

If you're going to upgrade, sign up for jump and you get a phone every 6 months. Always new better phones coming out.

If you want the latest and greatest then waiting for the s5 or the g3 will be better for you.

i am going to stick to g2 for a year maybe more.this phone is great.the minor thing that i hate is the phone speaker.(coming from xperia play great stereo sound that i miss).
but the headset is great.and battery life and speed is awesome.this phone flys,and no need for custom roms.
the s5 and g3 is going to be awesome but i dont want a bigger phone.its just a phone and g2 is big already.

That is True My Trusted Razr M Felt More Premium LOL
But the Gigantic Screen makes me look away on the Premium Back. The front is so more Premium than the Galaxy Fronts xD.
And the screen size just Blows the Nexus 5 Display out the water.
The only Device I was kind of wanting to get was the HTC One... It felt nice but LCD was smaller and them HUGE black Borders !!!

If I jump it will be Iphone 6 because this phone honestly feels very good already, its going to be tough to beat this phone. I want to give Apple the Benefit of a doubt that their **** doesnt suck and they actually done something useful.
