Sorry if we jumped on you. We're a little used to bots coming to our board and posting responses, though yours seemed better than those, so apologies for insulting you as well

Still, I must say it's genuinely odd for you to have experienced the same weird problems with both of the phones you purchased, when this is the first I've heard of such problems with the phone. Have you gone to AndroidForums.com with this to see if anyone else was having these issues? I know it's not a problem anymore, but it might be interesting to see if anyone shares these experiences with you. You're drawing from a pretty small pool here, as our membership is small to begin with, but has probably around 6-8 Android users (I think), and about 3 Galaxy Nexus users...

*edit*
But after checking those boards back, feel free to come back here and hang out! We have a great bunch of folks here.

I have the Samsung Rogue, and it's bad. The hardware is all good, and probably another week of coding and the phone would have been great, but it's not.

My last 4 phones have been Samsung, and each one is progressively worse than the one before. There won't be any Samsung phones in my future...

Thankfully my contract is up this month and I can get rid of it.

Sorry to say, but that's not a big surprise. What made you go with that phone specifically?

The wife insisted...

I also thought it weird that both phones were having the same problem. No, I did not go to boards to check for similar problems. Up to these two phones, I had gotten all of my phones for free with the contract renewal. And then the Nexis cost over three hundred dollars a piece, and I'm forced to buy Net Phones to make unaborted calls? No that called for action--not sympatico views. I haven't had any trouble with the RAZRS. I actually wanted the RAZR Max in trade for the Nexis, but Verizon said they could not do that...

Just a heads-up... The GSM Nexus is available for $459.99 today. The price of this phone is falling through the floor. It's really a great bargain at this price. My GSM Nexus is still going strong.

I bought a Galaxy S II from Daily Steals once. They took a week to ship, but other than that, they seem good.

I'm sorry to hear that. I called Samsung prior to my returning the two Nexus. They said they were aware of the problems and would be working on fixing them soon. I replied that I couldn't wait that long; I have diabetics calling me every day and I can't have my phone breaking up 3 times per call. I told the guy candidly that I was pretty much a Samsung person on everything device I buy that they make. But that would no longer be the case. Not only will I not strictly buy Samsung anymore, I will leave Verizon at the first opportunity. I wish you good luck with your next phone. I love my RAZR but I don't know whether it's dumb luck that it works okay or more continued testing by Motorola.

I bought two phones direct from Verizon for 250.00 and 300.00 (before tax). At the that time the price for the phone was over $600.00. I dis-recommend the phone to everyone I talk to. I hope you have better luck with your Nexus than I did with mine.

I've had my Nexus since November 2011 and paid $800 for the privilege. I don't regret it and have had no problems in all that time. Please keep in mind I have the HSPA+ version of the phone, not the Verizon LTE version.

I've used my phone with great results on T-Mobile and AT&T. You can't discount the possibility your Nexus issues are due to Verizon's LTE network which is still quite new and suffers outages regularly, though I doubt Verizon runs Voice over LTE yet in your area yet.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... It all makes sense now. Thanks for your response.
