ron95020 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 i bought two Nuxus and one rite out of the box did not work. The ear speaker was dead on arrival. The other one I bought was so bad at losing network connections rite here in the middle of town. Finally I returned it also and had my droid activated. now I am waiting again for a new great phone, but it will not ever ever ever be a Samsung again. This was the second Samsung I have owned and the second time I had returned them, first was about 3 years ago. It is Moto or LG for me, they have great phones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FU3L Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Dude sorry to hear that :( I must say, my Galaxy Nexus has been superb. It's my second Samsung phone, first was a Charge, and I've liked them both, except for Touchwiz on the Charge but I got rid of that ASAP. I've also had HTC and Motorola, both of those were good too, solid performers, an Incredible and Xoom respectively. I think the only major player I haven't been with on Android yet is LG.

Psywar Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Only Samsung I have ever owned was the Instinct (not an android, not sure what it was.). I had it for over 2 years and it ran really well for what it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not missing anything Jim. LG is towards the bottom of the barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Holt Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 You're not missing anything Jim. LG is towards the bottom of the barrel. I agree with Robert on this one. I, like Jim, have used all the major players except for LG because a.) I didn't see much advertising and knew very little on them b.) the one's I saw previously were ones like the LG Vortex and I wasn't impressed with their budget phones. Because of that I didn't even bother to look at LG anymore. Side Note - I'm curious to how the Spectrum compares. The Nexus is the first Samsung device I've used and other than my first one getting a crack on the backside of the screen I am throughly impressed with this device. Although was people say about Samsung radios is true. They aren't the greatest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FU3L Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Simply put, I've never had LG because they've never impressed me. I like their TV though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacy Bruce Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Although was people say about Samsung radios is true. They aren't the greatest. I really feel that where you live and the coverage you get there has a lot to do with what you are experiencing as far as radio issues go. I have used phones from all manufacturers and can't say that Samsung is worse than any other brand. I will say this. My Galaxy Nexus has yet to drop a call when the Bionic and Razr both did on various occasions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Galaxy Nexus has yet to drop a call when the Bionic and Razr both did on various occasions. That's interesting since most consider Motorola to be the best Android vendor in terms of connectivity. I would perhaps cede build quality to Motorola as well. To me, many of their products feel the best in hand. Too bad they can't make anything I like in terms of software, except for the Xoom. Some people like the lightness of Samsung phones, and I agree it's nice, but I definitely prefer the "expensive" heft. HTC seems to be the middle ground these days. I liked my Incredible but it was never quite here or there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally I would agree and this is my first Samsung phone, but I've used the big three out right now for Verizon and both the Razr and Rezound were quick with the internet and didn't drop calls. My Nexus has yet to drop a call but it's internet and download speeds are sooooo slow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonf2320 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Might be something with settings? In my opinion, Samsung is the best, then HTC, then Moto, then others. My 2cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
