Yeah I went to 4.0.4 the day it leaked or thereabouts.

Verizon? How do I get 4.0.4? (Without having to root?)

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
You need to root.
I didn't think you did if you installed the actual leaked package.
Yeah, I don't think you have to root. Just run the update.zip and you're in business.

So what's the ideal MHL cable for this thing? Does it need to be one that has the USB power adaptor as well?
Never used the Ally, but software-wise the GN will definitely blow it away. As for the iPhone 4, the GN blows it away in every respect more or less, it only becomes a fair fight if you compare the GN to the 4S.

So after this phone has been in hands for a while, how is the 5 MP camera faring along (also in comparison to the other "top" smartphones with 8 MP) ??
Also the 16 GB without microsd slot a really turning me of. Have 32GB in my Desire HD and i have like 1 GB left
Trying to snipe one cheap on ebay to bridge the time between htc One X / Galaxy S3 release.

As shitty as day 1. It's unexcusably bad.
just bad quality ? Has it at least a fast release ? tried one a week ago and it was at least better than my desire hd but that phone's camera is also shitty.
it takes pictures instantly. The only problem is if the lighting isn't just about perfect most of the pictures end up blurry. This is on 4.0.2. I think they tweaked it a bit on 4.0.4 but you still can't make up for the sensor/lens
I would say, if someone in this thread hasn't heard of the phone, than probably it's not too hot hardware-wise.
It's nowhere near as bad as you're making it out to be.

It's fine. If you go for the instant-snapshot option then its massively hit and miss, and most of the time its miss. If you tap to focus, results are a lot better.
I came from a Galaxy S and I find picture quality to be better on the Nexus, with the bonus of a flash as well.
Edit: I was worried about the lack of expandable memory and only 16gb (13.3gb in reality) storage. However having installed all my apps, and moved over the majority of my favourite artists/albums (81 albums, 849 tracks) I still have 6gb left. Was pretty suprised. (Though if you've only got 1gb left out of 32gb then I think you might be out of luck!)

As far as music goes, if you use Google Music (sorry, Google Play Music) then it shouldn't be much of a problem... You can pin songs to keep offline but I doubt you'd pin enough to run up against the limit.
Still total shit on 4.0.4
Yes it is. Having used an SGII and iPhone4S, it is very, very bad.
Who cares about 0 lag time if 99% of your pictures are a blurry mess?

I actually love this camera better than my bionic and shoots fast.

EDIT:
And as far as the 32gb onboard and no SD im cool with it. I had the 32gb in my Thunderbolt and I never filled it up unless I wanted to watch video
and now that I have my Transformer Prime (which I love to death) i just throw all my videos on there so nothing left but taking videos and photos
and that works great ill fill it up sooner or later but that will take along time. As far as Music well I moved everything to Google Music I never have
issues with data or finding wifi when I need to listen.
Only now you get hungry? You prefer heart attack inducing french toast to healthy tuna? Fo shame.
you know as well as anyone that the official phone of clubs everywhere is the iphone.
Good luck getting any cellphone camera to take decent pics in a low lighting situation like most clubs. Still, this sensor is one of the worst I've seen for such a situation, so that doesn't help.

i dunno, my Epic 4G (SGS1) looks like it takes better pics than the GNEX...

Is there any options for an AT&T user? I've heard the Nexus we have is mot very good. :/

I like putting a can of tuna in macaroni and cheese. I have to cancel the healthy effect of the tuna somehow!
The Tuna has continuous panning panorama feature. This feature is batshit awesome. It doesn't completely make up for the poor sensor quality but it's really awesome nonetheless.

The only differences between the GSM (International) Tuna and the Verizon Tuna are:
GSM version has much better battery life than CDMA/LTE.
GSM version only has 16 GB of flash memory, this is fucking terrible.
GSM version is ever so slightly thinner.
GSM version uses a different battery shape, GSM and CDMA/LTE batteries are not interchangeable.
They are otherwise identical. The GSM Tuna beats the living shit out of the AT&T Galaxy S II Skyrocket and Galaxy Note, both of which got Qualcomm'd on the way to America from overseas. The GSM Tuna has the same comparison with the International Galaxy S II, that the Verizon Tuna has with the AT&T original GSII, since both use identical hardware to their American brethren. Of course, this being shitty AT&T, God only knows when you will get ICS on any AT&T devices, whereas the GSM Tuna shipped with ICS and the International GSII just got it's ICS update.

Pardon my ignorance, but I'm completely baffled by your post regarding the GSM Tuna. I'm not sure what you're referring to, haha. Is that the name of the standard Nexus you can get on AT&T or something?
The GSM nexus supports both att and t mobile radio bands for hspa+ connectivity (21mbps). It's a pentaband gsm phone.
Tuna is just the code name for the phone.

Ah OK. So if I were to talk into Best Buy/AT&T, this would be the phone they have on display?
Oh no, it's not actually sold in the states. Except for grey market stores.

Ooooh - OK, that changes things. Can I get one in the states for a reasonable price?

They're selling for about 700-750 new but they keep popping up for sales at about 560 on dailysteals(twice now).
Negri electronis and expansys usa sells them.
4.0.3 - aokp latest milestone w/Franco kernel nightly #89
I'm using just a rooted 4.0.4 ROM now and it seems more stable than the previous custom ROMs I've tried. I haven't even swapped from the stock kernel, though I might try Imo's kernel soon.

I'm using stock rooted 4.0.4 with Imoseyon's Leankernel. OCed to 1.52 ghz. The phone flies.
why did you return the GS2? Just curious.

I'm not sure what CM9 can offer over stock 4.0.4 on this phone. The point of CM is a skin-free Android experience, you get that out of the box with Tuna!
nothing wrong with the phone, it's a great phone. I didn't like Sprint service. Terrible 3g/4g speed around my area.
