I find it okay in good light, I'd say as good as the iPhone 4 I replaced. However it is a bit disapointing in poor light, and the flash seems awful. It depends on your requirements I guess, I just like to be able to take a quick snap wherever I am, but would take a normal camera with me anyway if I was planning to take decent pictures.
I did some test photos here in

Not great photos as examples but average lighting and gives comparisons between stock and various hdr

First of all forgive me if I refer to anything incorrectly here, I'm new to all this.
Anyone with experience with flashing roms, I put PA on my nexus yesterday but wasn't so keen on the changes to the screen colours/contrast (I actually really like them as stock). From what I've found online it sounds like PA uses the stock kernel but with a few tweaks to the screen calibration so would I be right in thinking that I can also flash the completely stock kernel and get the original calibration back? If so is that a trivial process?
Thanks for any help

PA does use the stock kernal with tweaked colour settings.
All you need to is get the original kernal and flash via CWM and should be back to normal.
I am sure you will find it easily enough on XDA. (Sorry at work so can't link you to thread)

Thanks SE-Naz I did have a look on XDA but it can be hard to find what you want over there. Will have another look now

Complete stock kernel is at the bottom of there
There are some others there too with different colour/contrast changes.
Ohhh blimey not this again. Best google gorilla glass scratch
So it is susceptible to scratches, how much you feel a protector is a heresy to the developer is up to you. Personally i can live with a scratch on the Protector but not on the glass
No protector here, But I do use a pouch when it is put in my pocket, Rest of the time it sits around naked. No scratches yet same with my S2 before it.
It all depends how careful you are
I don't get whats wrong with putting a screen protector on. They feel perfectly fine in my opinion and when they get scratched, you simply remove the old one and put a new one on.
Someone dropped a sharp point on my phone the other day. Marked the screen protector horribly. 5 minutes later and it was like nothing had ever happened.

Ordered a Panasonic QE-TM101 wireless charger today, £37 all in from Japan.
Looks alright tbh

£40 to do the same job inefficiently that the free charger does, looks like a waste tbh
sure you don't need to plug it in, but you could always buy dock for £8 on ebay if your lazy

How is it inefficient? Sure it's being lazy but I like gadgets.
Am I being paranoid about this? Especially with just 12 minutes of screen time. Stock 4.2.2, nothing else but your usual social apps/notifications here and there. Better Battery Stats isn't showing any bizarre wakelocks either.
Hmmmm Not sure that's good...
Here's Mine:
And I was sat on the Bog reading Twitter for 10 minutes, along with Loads of stuff syncing!! (Gmail/Keep/Drive/Music etc.., Yahoo, Twitter, Farcebook, Skydrive). Battery Guru turns everything back on when I'm on Wi-Fi (it shuts down to the bare minimum when on 3G)
I'm also on 4.2.2 Stock with no other massive tweaks!!
Might be as you're on 3G/H as it uses more juice than Wi-Fi

Well after a few days with the Nexus I love it
Had a right game with the screen protector, aren't they a pain!!! but after reading some horror stories regarding gorilla glass I kept it on. Will probably try and replace at some point

Give the Snapdragon Battery Guru a go!
After the initial 2 day's of learning my routine etc, it turned off the stuff I don't use (making it an on-demand/when needed function). I fettled a few things I want to keep synced no matter what (gmail, Yahoo etc) and it now keeps me ticking along quite nicely, not fantastic!!, but as my old Xperia Arc would only last 8 hours at a push before demanding a full re-charge (down to about 10%), getting to about 70-65% after 10 to 12 hours is a bonus for me!!
And that's 10 to 12 hours of heavy(ish) use!!!
