SkinInsite Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Anyone know how I can start video calls in google talk on the nexus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rictus58 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Anyone know how I can start video calls in google talk on the nexus? If it's like other androids, just click on the "talk" app...the same one for g-chat. if someone else is available for google video chat, it will tell you they are.

SkinInsite Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Thanks guess no one i know is available to video chat. Anyway my whole day is a waste as I'm ignoring everyone to play with my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinz4Life12 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 hope kubstix made the right decision to go with the Nexus over the Razr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinInsite Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Nexus feels much more comfortable compared to the Razr. I just wish Samsung had used some sort of metal instead of plastic. Of course that might have made the phone heavier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistertim Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I just got mine from the VZ store near me and so far I love it. I'm still messing with it to get used to everything but the features are great, its extremely fast, voice to text works surprisingly well, the screen is a beauty, and it really feels good; the design is great. I agree with SkinInsite: it really does feel much better than the Razr when you're holding it. It is pretty big but no bigger than the Razr or S2 and I'm pretty comfortable holding it in one hand and flipping through screens. The 4G is crazy fast as well.

@DCGoldPants Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 So far, so good. I had a blackberry before so the whole droid thing is new to me. Its crazy fast and I love being able to drag and drop things across multiple desktops. The phone sounds great, especially the speaker phone. I've started downloading apps for it.

Skinz4Life12 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 did you guys figure out how to disable the key stroke vibrate in the text messaging app? also can you turn off the lock screen vibrate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rictus58 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Try looking under keyboard settings. it will either be hepatic feedback or vibrate on keypress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinz4Life12 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Try looking under keyboard settings. it will either be hepatic feedback or vibrate on keypress. i did and there is no option for haptic feedback. really strange.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdiamond Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I really wanted to like this phone. Went to the store today to pick one up and just couldn't pull the trigger. Felt way too cheap. The back panel on it was just killing me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The back panel on it was just killing me. The way the back panel comes off is a bit funky, but personally I don't think it feels cheap at all. It isn't as metal feeling as the Razr but then again I really didn't like the feel of the Razr in my hand. Personal preference I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinz4Life12 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 dude i don't know what to tell you. i don't expect my phone to be built like a rolex and this phone feels far from cheap. the backing doesn't feel like plastic at all. go with an iphone i guess ---------- Post added December-15th-2011 at 02:35 PM ---------- also, can anyone inform me the quickest and easiest way to get the apps from my old phone to the gnex? shouldn't they be backed up somewhere? thats what i was told anyways..

@DCGoldPants Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I think its pretty sweet. I like the rubbery back panel. Like it can take a few dingers without showing anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistertim Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I actually think the camera is very good quality as well. It is high quality for point and shoot. Besides, if I'm going to take serious pictures I'll just grab my DSLR. The panorama feature is really fun to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinz4Life12 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I think its pretty sweet. I like the rubbery back panel. Like it can take a few dingers without showing anything. it feels solid in my hand. the backing gives me a good grip on the phone too. doesn't feel or plasticky like my droid incredible did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willygogo Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Just got mine this afternoon. First impression: awesome! One question though for those of you who got it: Is there no indication light for when it's charging or for when you have a notification? I can't seem to find it.... Nevermind, it blinks down at the bottom near where the charger goes in for notifications. I don't think that it shows a light for when it's charging though.

LadySkinsFan Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Thanks to all of you for your reviews. I did some figuring for my Verizon plans and I think I can actually save money. Right now I have an LG Chocolate Touch on 1 line and a MIFI on the other line the plan of which ran out so at some point they are going to just move me to something else. The MIFI is my hotspot. Does anyone use the hotspot feature on their smartphone if they have one? Looking for Verizon planners of course. I really like the MIFI though, works like a champ on 3G for my laptop.

The build quality on this, especially compared to the other major releases recently (iPhone, Razr, Rezound), just isn't at the same level. I'm glad you like your phone, but for me it was a great disappointment from a phone that's supposed to be a high end offering (the galaxy series).

LadySkinsFan Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I've never used my phone as a hotspot. it's extra every month. I am paying for 2 lines, one is the MIFI hotspot with mobile broadband, so I'll drop that line and get the combined data/mobile broadband on the smartphone (I have a data package on my current phone too). I travel for my work and need a secure hotspot (not public ones like in coffeeshops etc.), so I'll end up saving some money. Also, I'll drop my plan minutes to something more reasonable since most everyone I know is has Verizon with the unlimited M2M calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinz4Life12 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Root your phone and use as a hotspot for free @bdiamond sorry you feel that way. Difference of opinion i guess. Fact is, this is probably the best smartphone on the market right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodBits Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Tysons vzw apparently sold out of the phone at 11am. Ordered it online, will be a couple days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
