Finally decided to throw in the towel with my GN, ordered a N4 last night....shame, i really like the design of my GN.

Just doing the update to 4.3 OTA, had to do another reboot as some things were not right. The shortcuts where you switch on/off GPS, wifi, etc were blank and bottom of main screen which was a phone symbol before was an Android logo, was fine after the reboot. It's much much quicker in opening apps and in general. Can certainly notice an improvement.

Why is the update via wifi only?

Got the update last night, seems snappier, will have to factory reset it to see how things go. Hopefully the last few months of use will be a little easier.

Just got another 1.7MB OTA update, still says Android 4.3 but Build number is now JWR66Y. no idea what the update is for though.

 

[spaceman]

it was probably just a security patch or something, i haven't noticed any difference other than the build number.

i still have the 4.3 wifi reconnect bug, so it didnt fix that one.

As much as I love the design of this phone (my favourite Android design) I'm getting a full refund from my favorite retailer as the internals have become a bit long in the tooth (plus a small fault with the mic ) and I can't pass up the refund just 'cos I like the design.

Woot for returns under 12 months!

Definately worth a refund now. I sold mine yesterday, feel pretty sad. It was getting on a bit but it still looked great.

Agreed, just need to flash stock 4.3 on it before return. I can't be bothered to relock the bootloader though

Just out of interest, what do you think would be a reasonable resale value? I would've guessed £100-130 based on Ebay prices for these and Samsung GS2s. Mine is the white version from Hong Kong.

I asked for £110 from a mate but I've no idea if that's fair or not. He still has an HTC Wildfire (Urgh!) so I was considering forcing it upon him for free because I hated seeing him type on that tiny screen lol.

If it's very good condition then £100 sounds fair to me.

I wouldn't pay anymore than that personally.

Wildfire - ewww!

Is anyone running kit kat ROM on the gnex?

Contemplating rooting, but unsure what ROM to flash. Have noticed that the phone is beginning to get sluggish.
